It all started back somewhere at the beginning of time in the stone age of 1990. I stopped by my Uncles house to see what was going on that weekend. My Uncle Jeff hands me a Splatmaster and said shoot your Uncle John and listen to him squeal. That was the day I knew I was hooked.
Couple years later my younger cousins and their friends approached me about doing a camping trip that was a little more challenging than their standard Boy Scouting camp out.
I set out to create the best hiking adventure these 14 year olds had ever seen. A 10 mile hike to camp, relentless attacks from parents armed with water balloons and bags of flour bags and of course, Paintball guns. At the moment when the kids where instructed to put on goggles to seconds later when the adults attacked with Splatmasters and everyone of the kids running off screaming, I knew I had something.
Survival Camp USA was born and little did I know at the time, Pentagon Paintball, Inc. would soon follow.
Assaulting the Outhouse
Survival Camp USA quickly became SCUSA. Next time you visit Pentagon Paintball's Discount Pro shop and Fields walk to the back of the store and look up. You'll see all the SCUSA Memorabilia. We'll never forget where we started.
Every year SCUSA grew. The second year the kids wanted to be able to fight back against the adults. We bought 10 Tiger Sharks (pumps) at $99.99 each and 5 Stingrays (semi-autos) at $149.99 each for the adults. That was a deal back then. Armed with 5 cases of paint at a quanity discount price of $97.99 a case, SCUSA took a big turn towards paintball...cont.
