CAMP CARDS Every Scout should go to camp!

We are not just selling cards… we are providing opportunity for our Scouts Scouting changes lives. We are selling more than a discount card—we are selling character, a better community and we are selling the benefits of the Scouting Program. Emphasize that each card sold helps a Scout go to camp to take part in a “life changing adventure”. The Camp Card Program will be successful because people want to support Scouting Mission and people want to help today’s youth. 16
