IS REALLY CLOSE

Keys to a Successful Sale 1. Hold a meeting to distribute cards and kick-off your unit’s Camp Card sales plan. 2. Have each Scout/Family set a goal on how many Camp Cards they would like to sell. 3. Set a Unit Goal for the number of Camp Cards to sell, and make it a good one. Most units earn enough money to purchase new equipment, tents, sleeping bags, canoes, summer camp, day camp etc., for a year’s operations. 4. Parents should easily be able to sell cards at work, Scouts should easily be able to sell cards to neighbors. 5. Establish competition between Dens, Patrols and Crews, providing extra incentives in addition to the card sales prizes.
