About Loanables
Wouldn’t it be great if you could just borrow a flag for your awards ceremony instead of having to buy your own? Now you can. Loanables are items which can be borrowed from GSCWM for a week at a time from any council service center. Below, you’ll see a full listing of the items available along with basic descriptions. Additional information about specifi c items is available by calling 800-462-9100 or e-mailing info@gscwm.org.

All items (except as noted) are free of charge to borrow. However, you will be asked to pay a modest deposit upon pick-up to cover loss or damage to the item(s). When the item(s) are returned in good working order, your deposit will be returned to you.

Reserving Loanables
All items must be reserved at least two weeks in advance. Most items can be reserved by phone (800-462-9100), e-mail (info@gscwm.org) or in person at any council service center. Archery equipment must be reserved by e-mail (archery@gscwm.org) or phone (800-462-9100).

When reserving an item, you will need to provide:

  • Name
  • Phone Number
  • E-mail Address
  • Item(s) you’d like to reserve
  • Dates you’d like to reserve the item(s)
  • Service center where you will pick-up the item(s)
