2013 Camp Card Kickoff
Why Camp Card?
• The Camp Card Sale helps ensure every Scout has the
opportunity to attend and earn his way to a summer camp
program; Scouts who attend Summer Camp stay in Scouting
longer, reaping all of the Scouting program benefits.
• Whether the unit needs an additional fundraiser or not, the
sale of Camp Cards can help Scouts’ parents offset the
expenses associated with paying for summer camp.
• Commission from the sale of Camp Cards may be used for
unit needs as the unit committee sees fit.
• Funds generated from the Camp Card sales will help Circle
Ten Council support multiple camp maintenance projects at
each of our 4 Camps.

How the Camp Card Sale Works
•
The 2013 Camp Card is designed to help youth fund their way to 2013 Camp
programs.
•
This is a Risk Free Unit Sales project where all Scouts can earn their way to 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; units keep commission on the front end and only pay Circle Ten for 50%.
•
With the $5.00 Kroger discount, 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.
