How the Camp Card Sale Works
- The Camp Card is designed to help youth fund their way to 2015 Camp programs.
- This is a Risk Free Unit Sales project where all Scouts can earn their way to Summer Camp, Philmont, other activities or simply support unit program or supplies needs.
- Each Camp Card will sell for only $5.00 to the general public and will have multiple food, service and entertainment discounts for the customer to use throughout the year.
- The participating unit will keep 50% commission of the sales for each Camp Card sold!
- With the discounts, the Camp Card PAYS FOR ITSELF!
- Commissions from the sales are encouraged to be applied toward directly sending youth to Summer Camp programs, but they may be used as the unit committee sees fit.
Commission & Prizes
Units will receive 50% commission for all Camp Cards sold if their accounts are closed out BY June 30, 2015. No prizes other than the Top 10 selling Scouts in the Council will be offered.
Return Policy
Camp Cards can be returned to the council service center without penalty any time. The cards MUST be in new condition (including snap-off discounts). NO cards will be accepted for return after June 30. The UNIT is RESPONSIBLE for ANY unreturned cards (lost, misplaced, damaged, etc.) and will be charged $2.50 for partially used cards. Be sure Scouts and parents treat each card as if it were a $5 bill.
