Wanted to buy: canvas scout tent
Hi r/chch,
I'm looking to buy one of those canvas tents that Scouts and Girl Guides used to use. They usually have white walls and a green top and look like this. I'd like one that is 9 feet x 9 feet or larger.
I've been looking on trademe, but I haven't had much luck finding one that's in Christchurch or within a 2 hour drive.
Does anyone have any idea where else I can look?

Try a scout group? They may have an old one they don't need and will no doubt appreciate being able to make some coin off it
I talked to a couple of people who are involved with Girl Guides and they all sold off their tents quite a few years ago when they switched to modern nylon tents. From the sounds of it the Scouts did the same, so I've had no luck there.
another option might be an army surplus store? If they don't have any, they could well point you in the right direction
That's not a bad idea, I might try that next weekend. Thanks!
