for adventure. Rovers’ extensive equipment inventory includes sleeping bags, tents, canoes,
stoves, backpacks, bicycle panniers, climbing ropes, and hundreds of other items. Most may be
used free by club members for club outings.
Items can be checked out of the “cage” Tuesday evenings after the meeting, and must
be returned the Tuesday after the trip unless otherwise arranged with the Cage Coordinator. Please
read the Cage
Equipment Check Out Policy prior to requesting equipment.
