Camp cards have been gaining momentum and popularity with councils across the country. Over the past few years this new type of fundraising product sale has been utilized by a number of councils to raise money to support units, outdoor programs and council operations. The cards include discounts from various businesses represented in the local council territory and typically have one time use “break off” coupons along with multi-use offers. The cards are most widely offered at the low price point of $5.00. Customers recoup their donation by using one of the two one-time coupons, and enjoy multiple food, service and entertainment discounts throughout the year. Features of a camp card sale typically include the following: • Risk free for the Scouting unit by returning unused cards to the council • Unit earns 40 - 50% commission • Grocery or other major retail discounts make the cards easy to sell • Customers receive high value • Sale is sponsored by the council which allows the Scouts to wear their uniform The following are resources recently used by local councils conducting camp card sales including: • Camp card samples 2012 Camp Card Broward 2012 Camp Card Monroe 2012 Exploring Card 2012 Mid-Iowa Camp Card Sample Camp Card-2011 Central Florida Sample Camp Card - Cape Fear 2011 Sample Camp Card - Gulf Coast 2011 Samples of Various Camp Cards • Proposals to businesses Camp Card Request for Discounter Sample Camp Card Proposal for Retail Discounts Sample Camp Card Proposal for Supermarkets Sample Camp Card Presentation • Business agreements for discounts 2012 Camp Card Vendor Partner Agreement - Reusable 2012 Camp Card Vendor Partner Agreement - Single Use 2012 Vendor's Agreement - Northeast Georgia • Leaders guides & tools 2012 Camp Card Leaders Guide - South Florida 2012 Camp Card Leader's Guide - Monroe Camp Card Guide - Evangeline Camp Card Guide & Sample - Central Georgia Camp Card Info - Northeast Georgia Camp Card Info - Mt.
