That would be the smart move....I'm a gear junkie though and think in terms of getting stuff that will last forgetting that <10 year olds drop and lose stuff too much.
I typically use a Cammenga lensatic but that is not too easy for for kids to learn with....I've even thought of picking up Cemmenga's Protractor Compass (

Working with kids whose farthest treks will be through local parks and fields, I need to drop the 'Best Gear Possible' attitude and just get them something adequate.
As the pack Cubmaster, I should see if the committee will fund a teaching kit....I know they have spent more for less....
