Types of Vendors / Organizations
One of the things we provide at Adventure Day are local resources for troops to learn about and take advantage of on their own. Even if you are a troop from another part of the council and a vendor of interest is not from your area use that TYPE of vendor as a resource. Some of the vendors have chapters or sister organizations in other counties or states, or at least similar type organizations in different areas. If you visit a vendor that is of great interest to you but they are not from your area, ask them if they have a chapter or similar organization in your area. You can also do a search on your computer to help find a similar organization. That's exactly how we found many of them!
