Scout Cards: A Proven Fundraising Opportunity for Your Unit
If your unit is looking for an easy and effective fundraiser, the Scout Card program is the perfect choice! This initiative allows Scouts to earn money for summer and fall camping programs while also supporting their unit. The best part? Scouts keep 50% of the profit from every card they sell, making it a great way to fund their Scouting adventures. New for 2025: Units can return up to 25% of their ordered cards until June 20th.
