null Two or More Pairs of Thorlo Socks 25% Off - Ends June 13

To get the most out of a week at Oljato, a week-end camping trip, or the back country trek of a lifetime at Philmont, your Scout's feet must be in tip-top shape. Thorlo's Official Boy Scout padded socks are the answer. Foot pain, tenderness, and any foot conditions (e.g., blisters) that might occur along the way will detract from his experience. These excursions demand the most protective socks possible. Sale ends June 13 at the Peninsula Scout Shop, 1150 Chess Dr., Foster City, (650) 358-0588.
