Camp Card Fundraiser: Help Scouts Earn Their Way to Adventure!
The Camp Card program is a simple, high-yield fundraiser designed to help Scouts BSA troops, Cub Scout packs, Venturing crews, and Sea Scout ships earn money to fund their year-round Scouting adventures—from weekend campouts and merit badge workshops to summer camp and high-adventure trips!
With discounts at local merchants, grocery stores, restaurants, and national retailers, Camp Cards practically sell themselves. Buyers save money on everyday purchases, and 100% of the proceeds directly support local youth and Scouting programs.
Why Participate in Camp Cards?
High Risk-Free Profit: Units keep 50% of the sales revenue ($5 per $10 card sold) to directly fund Scout accounts, gear, registration fees, or camp tuition.
No Upfront Cost: Camp Cards are distributed to units on a consignment basis—you only pay for the cards you sell and return any unsold cards by the campaign deadline.
Great Value for Supporters: Cardholders receive instant savings at popular local and national businesses that easily exceed the $10 purchase price.
Teaches Financial Responsibility: Scouts learn valuable life lessons in goal setting, money management, salesmanship, and public speaking by earning their own way in Scouting.
