ClassB was proud to be able to send several of our employees to visit the 2010 BSA Jamboree. As an official Boy Scouts of America® Licensee , we strive to give our employees the real-world experience we feel is necessary to provide the best possible service.
As the 2010 BSA Jamboree comes to a close and thousands of Scouts return home to share their experiences with their families, I think it's safe to say that this year's Jamboree was a huge success. ClassB was proud to be able to send several of our employees to this year's event.
It's nice to see many aspects of the Jamboree haven't changed since I attended as a scout many Jamboree's ago. Just looking around you could tell that the Scouts were still having a great time, you could see it in their faces.
Our Vice President, Gregg Hilferding, who is also an Eagle Scout, has been a licensed amateur radio (also called HAM radio) operator for the last 15 years, so he was naturally drawn to the HAM radio area at the Jamboree.
ClassB Artist, Rachel, who sent us this great story about Brownsea Island , also got the chance to visit the Armed Forces Adventure Area at the Jamboree. According to Rachel, the U.S. military had a remarkably impressive exhibit area, where military personnel gave presentations and displayed some of their respective branch's equipment.
As we go through our daily lives, we'll usually come across something that we consider to be a hassle or that, because it happened to us, is unfortunate or just plain unlucky. And we all know that sometimes those little things can add up to one pretty bad day.
Brownsea Island is the historical location of the very first Scout camp conducted by Robert Baden-Powell in 1907. One of our talented artists, Rachel, is at the Jamboree and was able to do a little time traveling! Here's what she experienced at Jambo's Brownsea Island Camp.
April, one of our ClassB representatives, has spent a lot of time in the Conservation area at the Jamboree. Earlier we posted a great story she wrote about the " Leave No Trace " program. Today, she learned about another great program that the Scouts can participate in called Conservation Good Turn.
As you know, ClassB has several representatives visiting the Jamboree this year. Although they are having a great time, it has been a little hot in the Virginia hills. Well, today they got a little break from the heat – a solid downpour, courtesy Mother Nature.

For as long as I can remember, the Boy Scouts have been advocates for the conservation of our natural resources. And it is apparently as strong today as it ever has been. Conservation is a big topic here at the Jamboree, and today April, our executive assistant, got the chance to visit the Conservation Center…
Venturing is a Boy Scouts of America program in which young adults, both boys and girls, from the age of 13 to 21 can participate in activities that give them a positive and satisfying experience - all aimed at making them a more responsible, ethical and caring adult.
The 2010 BSA Jamboree has been nothing short of amazing, and it's only the first day! The 100th anniversary fever has hit Virginia and it's highly contagious. Not only are there tons of things to see and do here, there is electricity in the air and on the airwaves.
Similar to last year , this summer proved to be another record-breaker for ClassB. As we continued shattering previous records for in-house orders, our employees didn't skip a beat. Early mornings, late nights and weekend work was the norm as they delivered order after order, on time and complete!
ClassB has been officially recognized as number 32 in the list of the Tampa Bay area's 50 fastest growing companies! On Thursday, the Tampa Bay Business Journal held the reputable event in Tampa, where ClassB was awarded the number 32 position.
It's big. It's exciting. It's coming soon. And ClassB is going to be there! The 2010 National Scout Jamboree will soon be underway at Ft. A.P. Hill in Virginia and this year's event is being touted as the best, most exciting and fun-filled Jamboree ever.
This weekend, ClassB is having its first ever Family Fun Day at Busch Gardens in Tampa. Being a T-shirt company, we obviously wanted to design and create custom T-shirts for our employees and their families to wear while attending the event.
This Tuesday, several of our talented artists and customer service representatives got the chance to visit one of the most impressive Scout camping facilities in the Southeastern United States. Located just a few miles north of Orlando, Camp La-No-Che sits discreetly within the 1,627 acre Leonard & Marjorie Williams Family Scout Reservation on the outskirts of…
Since making a commitment to focus on our environmental impact in every aspect of our business, every shirt we make has been green . Join with us as we celebrate Earth Day at ClassB! We'll match your contributions to our tree planting project .
Here are more photos from ClassB's service project with East Pasco Habitat for Humanity. Click any image for a larger view!
ClassB Volunteers part I I have always wanted to volunteer with Habitat for Humanity. The idea of making such a large difference in another person's life has always been appealing. I can remember being a little girl and seeing the commercials thinking, I want to do that someday.
Our newly implemented recycle dumpster We here at ClassB have extended our recycling efforts once again. With a little help from GreenFiber, recycling is now easier than ever! There is now a GreenFiber recycle dumpster on ClassB premises. A lot of traditional "garbage" can go into the dumpster to be recycled into insulation for homes…
Today the Boy Scouts of America is celebrating 100 years of leadership , service , and adventure . We're so proud to be a part of this movement as an Official Licensee of the Boy Scouts of America. The entire internet is lighting up today in honor of this Centennial.
The BSA centennial is just around the corner. While there are many celebrations at the national BSA level, such as the National Jamboree and National Hall of Leadership , there are plenty of other galas and events being planned separately. Since the centennial falls on a Monday, many are holding their celebrations the following weekend.
There is a national photo contest going on in celebration of the upcoming Boy Scouts of America centennial. But this isn't just your normal national photo contest. Winners of this photo contest will actually have their entries printed in a new book to be published in October 2010.
The Flaming Arrow Scout Reservation is a Boy Scout camp located just outside of Lake Wales, Florida. It serves as the largest camping and training facility owned and operated by Gulf Ridge Council. The camp's 1,200 acres are used by Boy Scouts, Boy Scout Troops, the Order of the Arrow, and many other organizations to…
Bob Williams a.k.a. 'Uncle Bob' ClassB was at it again! On Saturday, January 9, 2010, we volunteered to help Bob Williams pack and prepare care packages to send to troops stationed overseas. The early birds arrived at Bob's warehouse and listened to stories in his office.
Sarah making boxes for employee work stations. Notice the recycled paper boxes! Going green can sometimes be easier than you think. We have taken small steps that have made a huge impact, not only within our company, but also in our community.

So, you just placed an order for 200 custom designed t-shirts. What happens now? Missy, our friendly CSR Josie, hard at work Well, your order starts at Customer Service. One of the Customer Service Representatives (CSRs) take your order and first determine whether or not you have ordered with us before.
Of course, you've probably already heard all about the Boy Scouts of America celebrating it's 100th Anniversary ! But just in case you missed out, here are a few of the many BSA 100th Anniversary programs: The Generations Connection program was launched in April 2009.
Post a short caption for this photo. Captions should be funny and entertaining. Friday, at 5:00PM, a winning caption will be chosen. Winners will receive a $50 coupon good for custom designed shirts for a group, or a digitally printed shirt. Have fun! We look forward to the captions!
Here at ClassB, the majority of our custom t-shirts are created using the screen printing technique. Screen printing involves the passing of ink through a mesh screen onto which a film image has been applied. Screen printing allows for large, bulk quantities of shirts to be produced at a single time.
We are happy to announce the completion of a new process that allows for single t-shirts to be printed: Digital Printing. Customers have been asking for this for a long time now and, well… One of our first digitally printed shirts!
Amanda ClassB.com attended the 1st Annual Tampa Corporate Dodge ball Tournament. The tournament, accurately named Dodge, Duck, Dip, and Dive , was held on Saturday, November 14 at the Temple Terrace Family Recreation Complex. Registration was $400, and all of the proceeds benefitted the Boy Scouts of America and Learning for Life, Gulf Ridge Council .
Summer was an amazing time for us! Things have been so busy, its kind of nice to have it slow down to normal again. We are very sorry that we had to scale back 6 day rush and 9 day priority service during the busy season.
Customers receiving orders in the past few days will notice a small change to the t-shirts. The line identifying the manufacturer (us) now has a /12345 after it. The new text reads ClassB.com/12345 - The 12345 is the work order number.
As I mentioned in our last post, this summer has been our busiest ever . We blew away every record we ever held week after week. It was more than we expected and we experienced some bottlenecks as our quantity of orders exploded.
ClassB is kicking off it's first ever photo sweepstakes! We want you to show off your t-shirts in action, and we've got lots of prizes to give out toward that end. In fact, you have a chance to win from 17 different prizes given out over the next 7 weeks.
The eight weeks leading up to July 4th is typically a busy time for us and this year did not fall short. In fact, we've beaten all of our past records for orders in-house. The last three weeks are our #1, #2, and #3 weeks of all time.
We're excited to announce the official launch of the ClassB™ Facebook page and ClassB™ Twitter profile . On each we post neat stuff that we're doing and the awesome stuff that Scouts are doing. Plus, we'll be posting occasional promotions on each service that are exclusively available to people who are fans/followers.
A cool story about one of our service projects is posted up at fillacart.org ClassB FillACart.org Team Page! Two people took an afternoon and filled a cart full of much needed items for a local charity. They got a lot out of it and enjoyed the experience very much.
March 14th was our small town's big parade. Its called Founders Day and we are lucky to have a front row seat. Our building is in the downtown historical district, right next to the park where the parade and activities are centered around.
We started making swatch cards while back. Why? Many people want a true representation of the color of the t-shirt. Everyone knows what Red is, but not many can tell the color of Avocado. This is especially an isue for packs with Navy and Royal and Troops with the various shades of khaki: Prairie dust…
We have some new designs we are considering adding to the Trading post. Please help us decide which ones to print, vote for the ones you like and also tell us the ones you do not like. You can vote by replying to this post, thank you!
We will be posting some new T-shirt designs on the trading post for sale in the next few days. Here is a preview of the upcoming designs: We will hopefully be also selling these thru the online scout store, Trailstop.com
While we were working on the Eco-T program , we came across a cool gadget for measuring power consumption. A thought came to mind as the breaker tripped for the 100th time, how much power do the computers actually use? I bought one of these: image of kill a watt with the little orange extension cable…
Hello, have just posted a new section on ClassB.com: our Eco-T program . We spent the past year working on it. Its been very challenging since half way thru many factors changed. We became aware of the CPSIA 2008 rules in early summer an this info changed some of our approach.
