A scout is honest. That's where as much as I do like this store and cause, have to write this with a caveat. Definitely purchase your scout patches and the like here. Yet for the camping items, they are cheaper at major retailers. I'm sure the NCAC has to pay a large rent to be here, but I'll be getting tents, flashlights, and sleeping bags elsewhere. Still glad this is here. Props to the employees. They are all part of scouts. That alone is great, so you will get solid advice. They do have good products in here for the most part. Also they've been very helpful with last second court of honor items. Scout leaders forget stuff. I appreciate how helpful they've been, and am glad this stores at this convenient location. Be prepared! read more

Northern Virginia Scout Shop - Outdoor Gear Near Me - Springfield, Virginia

Excellent prompt service. Knowledgeable staff and beautiful store. Very impressed with the overall experience.

Was extremely rude to my son. Scolded him while I was paying for taking the bag off the counter cause my card hadn't finished processing yet. Skinny kid with long hair. Rude. Very disappointed with this level of service and attitude from someone who's suppose to be a leader and role model. read more

One of the largest scout shops in the country! They have absolutely everything that you may need for everyday troop meetings to high adventure outings. A majority of the employees are Eagle Scouts who know exactly what scouts need. One really nice touch is that they do on-site alterations. You can buy a pair of pants, leave them for a few hours to be shortened, then return to pick them up. They will even sew badges onto a sash! There are several others in the area but none of them top the upbeat and knowledgeable sales staff here! read more

Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. I wanted to purchase an Eagle Scout patch for my backpacking bag. I called a day in advanced and they simply ask that I bring my Eagle Scout card. No problem. I also picked up a few other cool patches that looked really cool. The prices were very reasonable! Less than $20 for 5 patches. read more

One of the best scout shops I have ever visited. Large and clean, similar to a modern day upscale camping store. Unlike most Scout shops, it is not cramped and disorganized. Everything is laid out perfectly and the staff is always helpful. I had to also return something and had no issues at all. They seem to have everything that is online and in the catalog. A very very wide selection at the current prices listed. There is even a changing area where you can try on clothing. The lighting in the store is also excellent (unlike most scout shops). This feels more like an upscale camping store. Well done Northern Virginia Scout Shop! read more

Very helpful staff. The prices to get your child started is pretty hefty but it worth the smiles you'll see on your child's face. They definitely carry everything you'll need here read more

One of the best and largest Scout Stores I have ever been to. Very well staffed, I went on a monday afternoon around 5PM, and I counted at least five staff members on the floor. They had everything one would be looking for in terms of scout stuff, uniform items, camping gear, pinewood derby, etc. read more

This is one of two BSA scout stores in the Washington Metro area. One is in Bethesda, MD at the NCAC headquarters, this one is the other. They just doubled the size of this store by taking over the store next door so it is more than twice the original size. It has absolutely everything you need for scouting (and a ton of stuff you really don't but will end up buying anyway.) The other thing to know is this store also acts as the closeout and clearance center for the NCAC so you will find some unbelievable deals on stuff. The staff is always friendly and very knowledgeable. read more

GREAT employees and fantastic customer service. So Knowledgeable about the Scouting program and super helpful.

This place wasn't even half bad if it weren't for the prices. Generally clean, smelled real weird but not dirty. The cashier with red hair was real nice. The only complaint about this store is that the dairy queen was sooooo tempting next door, that and the smell. Solid 3 stars. read more

The staff is prepared for COVID with masks and gloves and they are always helpful and knowledgeable. Best part is that they will hem the scout pants and sew patches on for you for a small fee. read more

The staff here is so helpful and friendly. Great selection. Every time I go, I wind up buying all kinds of cool stuff I didn't expect to find! Especially nice place for finding gifts for Scout leaders and other volunteers. read more

Very helpful staff and they have everything we needed in stock. I'm a new den leader and they helped me with a lot of stuff, and they sewed all of our patches on while we waited. read more

Great store. Clean and well organized. Lay out is smart and plenty of scouts to help and for check out. Have never had a problem. It can be crazy trying to get the right stuff but they can help. It's the go to place. read more

Clean, well-stocked store. However, service is hit-or-miss--some employees are friendly and helpful, others are impatient when asked questions and don't seem interested in assisting customers unless they are there to make a big purchase. I have been in this store several times in the past month, and each time the store has appeared to be understaffed (only 2 employees in the store to cover both the floor and registers, even during busy hours) and checkout is very slow. Seriously, plan to spend at least 10-15 minutes in line, even if you're next in the queue. read more

Outstanding store, filled with quality Scouting gear and extremely helpful staff! Can't recommend enough!

A one stop shop for all your scouting needs. As you might expect, the store has every conceivable uniform item, as well as books and even a selection of hiking and camping gear. Staff was friendly, knowledgeable and offered good advice on uniform setup. read more
