Adventure Starts Here!
At Unit 7009, we are honored to be patrons of the Pacific Northwest. From Mount St. Helens and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest, to Bend's Three Sisters to the rugged terrain of the Eagle Cap Wilderness, Unit 7009 has done it all...well, almost all.
And that's why we tend to spend at least one weekend each month venturing into the world. And we can't wait to have you join us on our next excursion as we learn lifelong skills and gain a care and passion for the great outdoors and the world around us.
