Scouting & Youth Programs · Official Supplier

Gear that teaches
as much as it shelters.

Colorado Tent Company has been an official supplier to Scouting America, YMCA programs, and youth outdoor organizations since the early 1900s. We build canvas tents that teach young people what quality gear looks, feels, and performs like — and lasts long enough to teach the generation after them too.

Why scouting organizations choose us

We understand what youth programs need: gear that holds up through heavy seasonal use, budgets that require long-term value over low upfront cost, and the safety and reliability that participants and parents depend on. Our canvas tents deliver all three.

Durability

Built for hard use

Scout programs put gear through hard seasonal use — canvas wall tents are made for exactly that. Our tents have served scouting organizations for over a century because they outlast every alternative.

Long-Term Value

20+ year lifespan

A canvas tent that lasts 20 years costs far less per season than synthetic alternatives replaced every 3–5 years. For budget-conscious organizations, this math matters — and it is the argument we have been making since 1890.
