Helpful info for all GS backpackers in the south/central areas of GSCCC. (I'm a volunteer, so this isn't official council info.)
Marins Gear Lending I've got a mixture of personal & program backpacking gear I can lend to Girl Scouts for a fee ($3-20 per item per trip, meant to cover wear & tear) My goal is to enable more girls to get outside! Details in this Google Doc https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1egqBEwSeeHJFs65NQanykhx99ZWvupmJ3Sf8-jcBRgg/edit?usp=sharing FYI: UCSB also has rental gear through UCSB Rec Center See us at Kaleidescope I'll be set up at Kaleidescope (Sat) with (TBD) gear & info. Stop by & say hi & see what I came up with! *today* Backpacking Leaders Lunch Group Meet at Natural Cafe, Goleta at 11:45 (fine to bring your own food) & talk about backpacking with GS. I'll give a mini-lecture each time to steer the conversation. Everyone is welcome. No need to RSVP. This is not a GS event.

This, I think, has already started, but heck it might be worth going to the remaining classes.
