how well would it work for a scouting trip?

It would do fine in my opinion but you would want a more sturdy stand. The one this comes with its horrible.

Its probably too late to respond and sorry, I dont use Amazon often enough to see everything. Its pretty durable and easy enough to adjust zoom/focus, I think it could work on a scouting trip. Downside is not having eyepiece at 90 degree angle. So either you need a compact but tall tripod, set scope on tall rock/table, or be in prone position. Its pretty difficult to hold scope without shaking it.

The optics are amazingly good for such a low price; but you would do best to bring an inexpensive camera tripod along for stability.

It should work well for you my husband teased me the other night for using it to look at the moon we use it for many uses its worth the price and is lightweight and great quality...and have fun in your trip

I truly could not recommend this for any use other than a paperweight. IMHO, a total waste of money. The optics are a joke, and the tripod is almost as bad.

I don't think this would be able to handle that much gear, especially with a jacket. It's better suited to handle a sandwich/snacks on a long day trip.

This unit is 17 inches long and 4 1/4 inches wide (at its' thickest point). I guess you would be able to carry it in the scout position; however, I think that it may limit your flexibility.

I do believe it will work well with a back pack. The reason I say this is I used it for a large soft cooler bag to go to the farmers market and purchase what was needed. I am unsure if it has a weight cap on the basket. With what I used it for, it met my needs. I would purchase it again. Works fine for my needs.

It's a little large to pack, unless your intention is moving. I guess it would work.

Very light, fits grate in your hand. Don't know the scout, so can't compare

Th pack I purchased would be great for those needs. It is light weight and carried what we needed on our Alaska trip: two rain ponchos, camera, snacks. water, and misc. items.

It should work...I use it with a smart phone scanning barcodes on a scoutpal app.

I think it is a great pack for the price. it has multipule adjustment straps. I've only used it twice so far this year, I've used it on a 8.5 mile and a 7.2 mile so far so. good.

I think it would be a good item for any trip, as it's small and easy to carry or pack. I like the field of view it offers, the only con is that it takes two hands to hold and turn the focus wheel that can be hard to turn. I like this item except for the one con mentioned.

Yes, I bought it for my son just for that purpose. He camps and backpacks all of the time. His best friend who he camps with all of the time had one, and that's why my son asked for one for Christmas last year.

I think it would. Ours is an Excursion so not quite the same but looking at it and the way it sets up I believe it would work.

It will be ok but not perfect. You'd be better off looking at some toddler sized carriers, such as toddler Tula for example

this is a one nighter or a daypack. it is small. you will have a difficult time packing a tent, sleeping bag, and food and cook equipment without tieing most of it to the outside. this is NOT A SOLID INTERNAL FRAME pack. you probably want the scout 3400 or explorer 4000 if you go with teton brand. i have a explorer 4000 as well it it has enough room for a 3-4 nighter if needed.

Yes, It should work fine. We use our for packing gear for hunting and it has always worked great.

Its not tiny so it depends on what type of travelling and what you plan on using it for. It will work fine as long as you're not pulling huge amounts of power, ie power tools or large motors. Just depends on how much space you have.

I got this for my son who is an Eagle Scout. In Boy Scouts they go camping all year long and he has used it in snow and wind.
