    Default Used packs for Girl Scouts

    I'm throwing out a request on behalf of some parents in my daughter's Girl Scout troop. They are doing a backpack camp out in June. I'm working with them as an advisor, and I can lend stoves and tents and such, but I cannot really help with packs. So I'd like to put together some options for used packs for the parents of the girls that don't have one (which is most). Let me know if you have any youth / girl packs that would fit a 12 year old Girl Scout you'd sell for a fair price.

    Not sure how to respond, as I don't have any to offer.

    However, just got off Steep and Cheap (looking for BSA tents), so I plugged this in:

    Might find something new for less money.

    Good luck.

    Default Used packs for Girl Scouts

    REI will sometimes lend backpacking gear for groups or youth. They were willing to lend several things from packs to cooking gear for some teens on a school backpacking trip where I work. I don't know if you have an REI near you, but it never hurts to ask.

    Your local Boy Scout troops likely have a ton of stuff to lend. Contact them, I'm certain they will help you out.
