Camp Card Fundraising Program

Syracuse Lonhouse BSA Card 0205 PRINTCamp Cards are discount cards that provides the purchasers numerous discounts to restaurants and retailers all throughout Central and Northern New York. Each card is sold for $5.00. The deals on the card far exceed the amount. Scouts are encouraged to sell as many as they can. Your unit will earn 50% ($2.50 per card) of all sales!

There is no risk to your unit! All your unit needs to do is agree to participate in the 2013 Camp Card Program and request the number of cards your unit intends on selling. Once your unit has the 2013 Camp Cards you will issue them to your Scouts one bundle at a time which is 10 Cards or $50.00 worth of cards. At the end of the sale your unit will return all unsold cards and 50% of the sales to the Council Office. Your unit retains 50% of your total sales.
