SCOUT Rocket Pocket Tote - Multi-Pocket Travel, Nurse, Teacher, Mom Tote, 7 Pockets Total, Two Sets of Straps, Folds Flat

I have several of these Scout bags in different sizes. I love them. They look stylish, they hold lots of stuff (especially the huge size !!), I love that they have both short handles and long handles so you get to decide which ones you want to use on a given day, and on each of the styles that have outer pockets (some pockets on some models of this bag are really quite big, others on other models are small but can still hold an iPhone or a small pad, or gum or kleenex or whatever sundries, just SO useful). I can't live without these !! A luxury really but so practical !!

I am a middle school teacher. I am also a post-grad student and a mom of a toddler. I saw that a colleague of mine had her own SCOUT bag, and it looked perfect for my needs, too. I will admit that I initially did not want to fork out $50 for one of these, so I purchased a cheaper knock-off tote bag that had the same concept of lots of pockets on the outside. I guess you really do get what you pay for sometimes, which is why I am here now writing a 5-star review for this bag. Anyway, this bag is my lifeline. I have absolutely ZERO cons, but here are the PROS and details of why this bag is my holy grail: 1. STRUCTURED - I don't have to fight with it because it doesn't flop all over the place 2. DURABLE - this thing takes a beating and really can withstand quite a bit of weight 3. LARGE - on an average day, serves the purpose of my purse, lunch box, and school bag, and sometimes even diaper bag...all in one! 4. ORGANIZED - all the pockets make it easy to have a place for everything--I am not having to dig around for things all the time! 5. CONVENIENT - the two handles actually are incredibly useful. Obviously the long handle for carrying on your shoulder, but the small handle is more necessary than I had ever imagined it would be. I keep this on my front seat when I drive, and when I get out of the car (usually pushing it to arrive on time to work, let's be honest lol), the short handle allows me to grab the bag quickly and easily pull it over the center console/armrest to take it out with me as I exit the driver-side door. Try doing this with a long handle-- you'll realize quickly that it's a bit more of a hassle. A+ for saving yourself time and frustration in the morning. 6. SECURE - I haven't really needed to use it yet, but I like having the top zipper so that I at least have the option to close it all up, should I need to one day

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Scout bags!!!! especially this style! i have 3 of this style...i work doing speech therapy with little people, and love all the space and pockets to squirrel things away. i purchased this one as a gift for my sister who does educational testing with little people also....she loves it!

Just bought 7 bags for friends going to the OBX. The bag has the perfect side pouches for sunglass, sunscreen, phone, water bottle. You name it, it has a spot for everything and that is just on the outside. Bag has a small zipper pouch inside and you can zip up the bag itself. The bag is a good size and a great travel bag. This is my favorite design of the Scout Bag.

I love this bag. I’m a nurse. I previously had the similar bag with shorter handles. I like these longer handles better. More comfie on my shoulder. I’m a nurse. It carries my work stuff with ease - clipboard, stethoscope, pockets for saline syringes and pens, etc. I also like how easy it is to wipe clean.

I purchased this bag after seeing fellow teachers carrying them around and practically collect teacher totes. I decided to add this one to my collection. Thoughts? Pros: Material is very sturdy. It stands by itself when upright when empty (makes it easier to fill). Material is easy to clean. Two types of handles to help you carry the bag as well as shove it into the back of your car. Numerous pockets and large inside zippered flap for carrying lots of odds and ends. Cons: Material feels cheap. Actually, it's very similar to those plastic reuseable bags you can get for .99 at the checkout counter of the grocery store. It's actually pretty much that exact material except designed more elegantly. Those bags also can hold a lot and are sturdy. Considering the price, whoever owns this company is making a killing. While the straps are versatile, they're very rough and thin and dig into your shoulders. I carry home my EC teacher planner, an accordion file with papers to grade, and my water bottle - my shoulders are red, and you can see where the straps have dug in. It's not the weight. I have a 31 Cindy Tote and an Overstreet laptop Tote, and they both have a bit of cushion on the straps to ease the burden. For 50.00, you'd think they could spare a bit of padding at the tops of the shoulder straps. Finally, the pockets are a bit small. 31 bags have a little gusset at the bottom so that the pocket is essentially the same size from top to botton. These are sloped. While it does make the pockets less obtrusive and more aesthetically pleasing, sometimes small items get a bit lost or you can't easily spot them looking down at the bag. It's also difficult to get my insulated water bottle in there because, though it fits the top well, as the pocket narrows, it becomes a harder fit. Were these perhaps specifically made with Tervis bottles in mind? Overall, glad to have it in my collection and will use from time to time. Is it my "go-to" bag? No. Right now I have elements of all that, if combined, would make the PERFECT teacher bag, but until a company makes it, these will do.

Love this bag! Great as an overnight bag, boat bag and beach bag! I use the outside deep pockets to hold sunscreen, first aid kit, hair products, hair ties, etc. I put 2 towels (1 was a big beach towel the other an average size towel), 2 books, and a hat and still able to zip it up no problem and room for more! There is a zippered pouch on the inside that I out cash and jewelry in. My 1st scout bag is 15 years old and still functional but definitely worn out!!

Very sturdy! Absolutely cute! Colors are bright. Good quality and material. Good value for money! The pockets are very useful
