Camp4Less

Camp4Less is the brainchild of three Scouters from the Etowah District of Northeast Georgia Council of BSA. While attending Wood Badge course SR-864, and as members of the Buffalo Patrol, Shawn LaFave, Jay Phillips and Patrick Bell met and became close friends. The three decided that they needed to do something that would benefit the scouting community as well as anyone who takes advantage of the great outdoor activities this country has to offer.

But, it was out of necessity that the three felt Camp4less had to become a reality. They saw first hand the many boys, families and leaders that did not have the proper gear for an overnighter. They felt it important for anyone to have access to high quality gear and not have to worry about the high retail prices of outfitting themselves.

As they developed what Camp4Less should stand for, they realized that they needed a field expert. This expert would have years of experience to make sure Camp4Less offered high quality gear at fair prices. The search was on!

Enter the Senior Patrol Leader of SR-684. How he had impressed them with his dedication to the program, his skills and his knowledge of scouting and high adventure. Chuck Treadway became the fourth partner of Camp4Less. As a faculty member at Philmont Training Center, Chuck brings a level of experience that cannot be matched.

Our goal at Camp4Less is to offer extraordinary products at exceptional prices. At the same time we want to offer personal attention that you need and make sure you are comfortable with your buying decision. We will not sell anything that has not been tested by us. In addition, each item must meet standards with regards to durability, fit, weight and comfort that can be offered at a fair price.
