How can I get Help from Scouting?

Gear Replacement Fund

Support Scouts in Rebuilding Their Scouting Gear

As families recover from the devastation of the fires, we are incredibly grateful for the outpouring of support from our volunteers. Now, our focus shifts to helping replace essential camping gear. While many have generously offered equipment, we want to ensure that impacted Scouts can select the gear best suited for their adventures.

Please consider donating to the Gear Replacement Fund. All funds raised will be distributed to affected families through REI gift cards, allowing them to purchase exactly what they need to continue their Scouting journey. Together, we can help them get back outdoors and back to what they love most!

Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this possible! We’d love to hear how your experience went—please share your story with Cicily Gardea at Cicily.Gardea@scouting.org.
