Quartermaster's Closet

A Pacific Crest Council gear-sharing and uniform exchange platform.

Quartermaster's Closet helps units share equipment, pass along uniforms, track checkouts and returns, report repairs, and keep gear ready for the next adventure.

The Quartermaster's Work

Keep gear visible, useful, and accountable.

Share within your unit, district, selected districts, or the whole Pacific Crest Council. Every item belongs somewhere. Every checkout has a record.

"Know what you have. Know where it is. Keep it ready."

Keep Inventory

Track equipment, uniforms, and used gear so units know what is available and where it belongs.

Check Gear Out

Issue equipment for campouts, trainings, service projects, and district events with clear dates and pickup details.

Check Gear In

Record returns, confirm quantities, note condition, and make sure items are ready for the next unit.

Report Repairs

Flag missing parts, damage, cleaning needs, and replacement recommendations before gear becomes unsafe.

Share What Helps

Move extra uniforms, clothing, and outdoor gear to the Scouts and units that can use them now.

Keep Good Records

Maintain a clear gear history so every checkout, claim, repair, and return is easy to follow.

Recently added gear

The newest equipment and uniforms in your current sharing scope.

The shelves are empty

When units list gear or uniforms, the newest items will appear here. A good Quartermaster keeps the adventure moving — list the first item.

Two closets, one council

The Gear Library tracks loanable equipment — Dutch ovens, lanterns, pioneering kits — that comes back after the event. The Uniform Closet is for claimable items — outgrown uniforms, boots, and used outdoor gear that pass along for good.

District-only mode keeps the closet focused. Council mode helps gear travel farther.

Approved adults only

Listing and checking out requires admin approval. No youth info is ever collected.

Built-in tracking

Every checkout, return, and repair report is logged in the Gear History Log.

Cross-district sharing is optional

Controlled by Council Admin settings — owners can still approve each request.
