Several years ago, I did a Wood Badge ticket called the $100 scout, I was able to build a UL kit together for a scout for about $100. Time jump to this year and I am trying to replicate but have hit a $150 wall. The intent is to help start scouts off at sub 10 pounds base with a kit they can grow quickly from the big 3(Pack, Quilt, shelter). Any advice is appreciated. Here is what we have so far: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing
