Product Highlights

Updated for 2013! Built to address the needs of younger hikers, the Mountainsmith Youth Scout external frame backpack provides 2356 cubic inches of internal capacity, external storage options and a broad range of fit adjustability.

A rugged, lightweight external aluminum frame allows the Youth Scout to haul heavy loads. A padded waistbelt and cushioned shoulder straps further enhance carrying comfort. An adjustable sternum strap, load lifter straps and other points of adjustment ensure a proper fit. The frame can be extended to “grow” with your aspiring backpacker and can accommodate torsos ranging from 13”-17” in length.

The Youth Scout's large main compartment is reached through a top-loading access point that is tucked under a large hood. The hood includes a zippered compartment that's ideal for stowing maps or a rain cover (sold separately). In addition, zippered side pockets enable you to organize gear. A mesh sling located beneath the main packbag allows you to carry sleeping bags that may not fit inside the Youth Scout

Other features on the Youth Scout include a cord-locked elastic attachment system and webbed daisy-chain attachment points. Providing valuable assistance in emergency situations, the buckle on the sternum strap doubles as a safety whistle.
