Local Boy Scout Seeks Used Camping Gear for Libraries
Submitted by Matthew Goldie
Matthew Goldie, a member of Boy Scout Troop 204, is collecting, cleaning and repairing used camping gear for the Bay Area Wilderness Training gear libraries as his Eagle Scout Service Project.
These libraries offer an efficient system for supplying camping gear and supplies alongside necessary wilderness training to urban youth programs throughout the East Bay.
He is accepting all camping gear donations dropped off to the collection containers at the following locations before Sunday, Nov. 27: the Troop 204 Cabin at the corner of School Street and First Street in Lafayette, and the sewnow! Fashion Studio, 3534 Golden Gate Way, Lafayette. (2-6 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays and 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturdays.)
Donors can clear their garages of used camping gear in good condition and receive a tax deductible receipt for an amount they specify.
