Check out Founder and Executive Director Scott Gauvin’s non-profit, Gear Forward! Scott knows all too well the struggles of wanting to be outside as a youth without the proper gear. As a member of the Boy Scouts, Scott was the regular recipient of hand me down gear from his beloved Scoutmaster until such a time when he could purchase his own. Now a proud Eagle Scout, Scott hopes to help boys and girls in a similar situation to ensure that those who crave being outdoors have the gear to meet their desire.
The outdoors are our collective greatest treasure and gift that we offer the next generation. Gear Forward, simply, is about providing the next generation of stewards, adventurers, Scoutmasters, and Girl Scout Leaders the resources they need to get outdoors. No child should be denied access to all the outdoors has to offer because they don't have the necessary equipment. Through the collection of gently used outdoor gear and partnerships with amazing gear manufacturers and retailers, Gear Forward works with outdoor-focused non-profit organizations to get donated gear into the hands of youth that need it.
