Camp Card Sales

Posted on Mar 24 2023 - 9:15am
At the troop meeting this week I announced to the Scouts that camp cards were now ready to sell door to door.
Camp cards are $10 each and the Scouts get $5 per card sold allocated to their name. These funds will help them raise money to pay for Summer Camp, Winter Camp, High adventure, Dues, Etc. 
 
If your Scout is interested in selling please have them reach out to me at a Troop Meeting or via email at ad.weems@gmail.com. I am only handing out no more than 40 cards at a time and you and your scout have to agree and sign the checkout form that I have stating that all donations received are turned into the troop and if cards are lost, damaged or not turned in on time then you will have to pay for those cards.
 
I will send out more information on table sales if we are able to secure any. I look forward to helping any Scout with sales. Happy Scouting!!!
