FONTANA SPORTS' SCOUT WEEK 2014
Sunday, April 27th - Sunday, May 4th, 2014
Did You Know?
Fontana Sports Specialties is owned by an Eagle Scout and a lifetime Girl Scout. Their son John is an Eagle Scout also and their daughter Elizabeth is a Silver Scout. Many of our past and present employees were/are Scouts and Eagle Scouts. Fontana Sports Specialties is locally owned and operated.
Add to those facts that our employees are outdoor enthusiasts who are environmentally focused with hundreds of hours spent enjoying and perfecting their experiences of traveling, hiking, camping, climbing, fishing, and skiing and you have a wealth of experience, knowledge and love for the outdoors. Because of this we have planned a 2014 Fontana Sports Scout Week.
Fontana Sports Scout Week will recognize all Scouts with their Boy Scout or Girl Scout card by giving them 20% OFF ALL NON-SALE PURCHASES from Sunday, April 27th – Sunday, May 4th , 2014. See in-store for details. Fontana Sports will also be offering FREE clinics to Scouts during the week. See clinic schedule bellow. Your Troop, Scout individuals and friends/parents of Scouts are invited to attend. If your troop plans to attend, please call ahead so we can make space. We hope to see you!
Other Scout Opportunities:
If your Troop is interested in a clinic about a topic we don’t have scheduled, we’d be happy to discuss putting together a clinic for you. Please call Elizabeth 608.662.9706.
Does your troop need to put together a large order for items such as freeze dried food, tents, or sleeping bags? We want to work with you to give you the best possible deal. Please call John or Jeff at 608.833.9191.
