Everyone has their gizmos, gimmics, gadgets, and gear that they wouldn't leave home without. When it comes to Scouting, here's a few things that I'm thankful exist and why:

• Gore-tex - for helping us enjoy camping in the rain
• Victorinox - for making a high quality knife
• Ferrocerium - for making it possible to have sparks any time
• Dutch Ovens - for showing scouts you can cook real food outdoors
• Digital Cameras - for making instant, free memories possible
• Guyot Designs - for imaginitive, innovative products like squishy bowls, firefly light, and splashguards
• Raccoons - for teaching more scouts the value of securing food than all other animals combined
• Tentpole Clips - for saving thousands of minutes that would have been wasted sliding tentpoles through sleeves.
• Polar Fleece - for warmth in all it forms; hats, jackets, balaclavas, pants - everything but snuggies.
• Scout Challenge - for providing an incentive for older scouts to stay active in regular troop stuff.
