The New NESA Store

The long-awaited Phase Two of the NEW NESA Store has finally arrived.  34 NESA branded items have been uploaded and can currently be accessed on the ScoutShop.org website under the “Collections” tab.  Click on the word “NESA” and you will have arrived at the NEW NESA Store.  The current collection contains some leftover items from Joe’s old store operation (once they are gone, they are gone), some NESA items produced and sold by Scouting America Outfitters (formerly BSA Supply) and 17 newly designed items mostly chosen to satisfy customer requests.  You will even see NESA Award items that can only be ordered by contacting local scout office or shop.

The NESA Store Support Team is now hard at work selecting and designing the 2026 products that will be added to the website later this year.  One of the challenges of starting the new store from scratch with a new management team made up of both volunteers and professionals from the National Office, all new product vendors and forging a working relationship with our Pick-Pack-Ship partners at Scouting America Outfitters was the amount of time that it takes to bring a single item of merchandise from initial concept to being ready-for-sale on the ScoutShop.org website.  The learning curve has been much steeper than expected but much has also been learned over the past 18 months and the New NESA Store is now open for business and ready to serve you.

We anticipate constantly adding new merchandise to the store so make sure that you check back often.  We are also looking for suggestions on what new merchandise to add to our inventory so please contact us by using the link below.

Now that Phase Two is up and running, the NESA Store Support Team has turned its attention to the third phase of the operation.  This summer, hopefully shortly after the 2026 National Annual Meeting in Dallas, the custom “Embroidery-on-Demand” department of the store will be opened to allow you to create customized apparel items such as polos, jackets, ¼ zips, hoodies and dress shirts.  Of course, the super-popular customized, embroidered fishing shirts will also be available for purchase designed to your exact specifications. 

You will be able to select your product, choose the color and the size, pick out the location for the NESA logo and even add up to 2 lines of customized text.  In the future, we also anticipate adding the opportunity to customize your own embroidered neckerchiefs and even limited-run patches.  We urge you to come back often.  You never know what you will find at the New NESA Store.
