The Greater Denver Council Taps Cantonment for a New and Improved Look for Scouts

It’s no coincidence that the three founders of Cantonment, an accessory brand with significant scout vibes, were in the same troop as kids. This was a foundational time for us in terms of our style, passions, and experiences. So when The Greater Colorado Council of the Boy Scouts of America were introduced to Cantonment’s branding and products, they reached out to us for some help.  They were in need of a new line of activewear for Colorado scouters, as well as the staff across their multiple camps throughout the state.

Stylized Substance™

Words by Team CantonmentPhotos by Jason Guerrero When we set out to create our flagship product, The Kerchief, and its corresponding brand, Cantonment, we were heavily influenced by the concepts of 'form + function' and 'style + substance'. It's why our logo is a plus sign and our tag line is an even more succinct version of this idea.  The Kerchief is designed to be a useful and stylish tool-cloth for your everyday carry (EDC). We noticed that most bandanas are too big to comfortably fit in a pocket and handkerchiefs are just too small to wear.
