The Scout Tent is our purpose-built canvas wall tent for Scouting America councils, scout camps, and troops who need gear that outlasts the scouts who first slept in it.

We have been supplying scouting organizations since the early 1900s, back when Colorado Tent & Awning was the largest canvas goods house in the American West. The Scout Tent is our direct answer to every council director who has had to replace a batch of synthetic or poly-cotton tents after 3–5 seasons. Our canvas is 100% Starfire® poly-cotton duck. It breathes, regulates temperature, and lasts 20+ years with proper care. That is not a marketing claim. That is the math that makes canvas the right long-term investment for a program that plans to be around for the next generation of scouts.

Why Scout Tents Outlasts the Alternatives

Most tents on the market today are made from synthetic blends — a compromise material that offers some breathability and degrades faster than it should. When the synthetic breaks down under UV exposure, heavy seasonal use, and repeated wet-dry cycles, the tent is done. A poly-cotton duck canvas tent like the Scout Tent does the opposite: it gets tighter as it ages, the fibers swelling with each rain to close the weave. A canvas tent that reaches 20 years of scout camp use is not exceptional — it is expected.

Council & Camp Pricing

We offer volume pricing for scouting councils, camps, and chartered organizations placing multi-tent orders. Contact our team with your council name, required quantity, and preferred sizes. We will put together a detailed proposal including volume pricing, production timeline, and delivery options.

A Note on Location

We are based in Denver, Colorado — 65 miles east of Philmont Scout Ranch in New Mexico. When a council in the Mountain West, the Southwest, or the High Plains needs tents serviced or replaced, we are closer than any other canvas manufacturer in the country. That matters when a camp director needs 20 tents before summer season starts.
