Camp Cards

Pack 1910 is pleased to announce that the 2019 Longhorn Council Camp Card fundraising program is underway!

By selling Camp Cards similar to the one above, Scouts can earn their own way to District Day Camp this June, the Perot Musem this July or even to Fossil Rim in September!! Units participating in the program earn 50% commission on each card. The cards cost $10 each so each sale nets $5.00 to go NOT to the Pack but we into a reserve specifically designated for your Scout's benefit. Yes, we are passing this commission to the individual scout account of the Cub Scout who sold them.

Again, I repeat, THIS IS NOT A UNIT FUNDRAISER!  This is your SCOUT's opportunity to fund his way all by himself! 

Oh, and did I mention the best part? This fundraiser is completely risk-free! That's right. Any cards you don't sell, you simply return them and you're done. 100% Risk Free.

All unsold cards and funds are due TO April by April 29.


What specific savings can the boys sell from these cards?

Contact April to get your first set of Camp Cards to sell.  Most Scouts are getting between 10-20 to sell. More can always be obtained if your Scout starts seriously cashing in on this opportunity!

If you can get your son to sell 3 packs of 10 Camp Cards, that's a $300 sale and a $150 commission, or, stated differently, your Scout has paid for 100% of Day Camp and the Perot this July!

Please note that while this is an OPTIONAL fundraiser, we want to encourage participation in order to lessen the direct financial burden on our Pack families. While it is SO EASY (albeit sometimes painful) to write that check and pay their way, that fails to give our Scouts the opportunity to learn a valuable lesson in sweat equity by participating in THEIR program. Selling teaches perseverance and being thrifty. Besides, every Scout deserves the opportunity to pay his own way.
