HOW Green Earth Outdoors CAN

SERVE YOUR PACK, TROOP OR CREW

Green Earth Outdoors was founded to help all people, especially the youth, get outside and enjoy nature responsibly. As Scout leaders ourselves, we are eager to share our 30+ years of experience working with Scouts and Leaders to meet your unit’s program objectives by providing Scout discounts for equipment sales, canoe rentals, and gear rental. Additional value added services include unit high adventure planning/logistics and outdoor skills instruction.

 

                                        

Unit Camping Equipment Sales

Is your pack, troop or crew looking to purchase new camping equipment? Let Green Earth Outdoors leverage our existing relationships with outdoor gear companies to offer your unit significant discounts on tents, stoves, Dutch Oven cookware and many other items from over 300 leading manufacturers. We are also available to visit a troop meeting after the purchase to demonstrate proper set up, use and care of the equipment to so your troop gets the most life out of it. We can also provide group discounts on personal gear like backpacks and sleeping bags too. Contact Us today to schedule an appointment with your unit leaders.

Canoe Rental

Green Earth Outdoors can provide top quality canoes, paddles and PFD’s at competitive prices for day, weekend or extended trips. From popular local rivers and lakes such as Blue River, Floyds Fork, Falls of the Ohio, Indian/Celina Lake to those less paddled, Green Earth Outdoors can transport canoes, equipment, and your Scouts to any navigable waterway with public access. Canoe instruction from a certified American Canoe Association instructor is also available. Contact Us for a group quote.

High Adventure Planning and Logistics

Regardless of your group’s skill or experience level, we work with your unit to plan and prepare a program that keeps your youth motivated and involved. We can provide your adult leaders with the assistance they need for a successful high adventure program.

Whether you seek a canoeing, backpacking, climbing or a multi-sport adventure, we can handle all of the details including transportation, reservations, itinerary, maps, guides, gear lists, food packs, equipment, and unit preparations for an exciting program that will meet your group’s budget, schedule and interest requirements. We can also offer competitive packages to the Boundary Waters or the Rockies when compared to Northern Tier or Philmont.  Visit our Adventure Travel section to review some of our trip destinations or ask us to propose something unique for your unit.

Gear Rental

For many youth, acquiring the gear to properly enjoy the outdoors can be an expensive endeavor. For many units, not having the funds to purchase their own equipment can prevent the outdoor program from flourishing.  Green Earth Outdoors offers personal and group rental gear with discounts for Scouts, Leaders and units. Our high quality equipment can be conveniently picked up or delivered within the Louisville Metro area. Visit the Gear Rental section of our website for a current list of equipment and pricing. Be sure to ask for the Scout discount!
