Great place for hard to find outdoor clothing and such. Carhartt collection is topnotch as is their selection of boots. Have been a customer for a few years now and will keep returning.

Two stars only because they have some items worthwhile. Customer service is almost nonexistent. Not a first time shopper here, and have had multiple experiences with poor customer service. Kept ignoring, but finally decided to give a review as a result of it pretty much being who they are.

Rude and lack of customer service is thrash just like their confederate flags throughout store. I walked in and once I approached them they continued speaking. Mid 30-40 y/o employee raised eyebrows and asked, “do you need something?”. I promptly stated, “hello!” (like a normal human being) and that I was seeking a kayak. Older man besides him decides to chuckle sarcastically as if I asked them a stupid question. The sign outside their door specifically states they sell kayaks and canoes. I walked out immediately and everyone else should too. Not one of them said anything as I did and/or

I like the store, decent Carhartt selection. Customer service is poor. The guy working there made me feel not welcomed. The “no browsing” sign is a compete turn off too. (How can I buy something if I can’t browse to see product)

Best place in Southern Maryland to find Boy Scout materials, as well as other military surplus and camping type items. The store is not very large, but they manage to stock a substantial amount of outdoors items and clothing.

Excellent selection of Boy Scouts supplies and uniforms. Also picked up a nice Carhartt hat for a great price. Excellent customer service! Was greeted on the way and I'm happy with my purchases. Will always come back , they make a girl feel welcome.

Bought a surplus steel pot helmet and an Israeli civilian gas mask. When I asked where the helmet was from his response was "i have no idea" I then purchased the gas mask and asked what size it was too which he responded "i don't know" well it turns out I bought a child size mask and it is useless to me. I called to tell them and they said well we only have the one size. We can't control what we get it is what it is. They need to at least have a knowledge of what they are selling. I'm drill trying to figure out what helmet I bought. The service is horrible and they knew literally nothing about

Great place to find Carhartt clothing. Competitive prices in regards to what's on the internet. It's a cool place.

We purchased a kayak from Beacon last weekend and our experience was very positive. Chris was extremely helpful, from giving us an overview of the different models to helping us secure our new kayak to the roof rack of our car. We were very happy we chose to make the drive to Beacon. We may be back soon to buy a second kayak.

The customer service is disgusting!!! We walked in and didn't even get acknowledge by the owner, so rude and disrespectful. How does he pay the rent with no customers? Because we were the only ones there. He needs to be put out of business. If I could give no stars I would. By the way, we were all in our Army uniforms. We will never come back

Our goto for all our Boy Scout supplies in Southern Maryland. Kind of hit and miss with their stock since there are limited quantities whenever we go.
