The community is invited to join the fun on Sept. 10 from 4 to 7 p.m., when REI Brentwood opens its doors to Scouts and American Heritage Girls for an evening designed just for them, featuring loads of door prizes and special clinics presented by REI’s valued outdoor vendors (MSR, Thermarest, Katadyn and of course REI).

For the younger scouts, a “Let’s Go Chipper” special presentation begins at 4 p.m. (the first 20 kids – limit one per family – receive a special “Let’s Go Chipper” book). Door prizes galore will be distributed, plus commercial discounts for troop, crew and pack purchases, and a 15-percent discount coupon for every Scout (and family member) who participates.

REI Brentwood is located in The Streets of Brentwood lifestyle center, 2475 Sand Creek Road. Visit www.rei.com/brentwoodca.
