2018 Camp Card Shown Front and Back |
Each year (generally after the March Roundtable), Troop 1910 begins allowing Scouts' parents to check out Camp Cards at Troop meetings for those Scouts desiring to participate in this optional fundraiser.
Camp Cards are coupon cards made available through Longhorn Council that are sold for $10 each. Of that, $5 goes to your son's Scout Account.
Our Committee reserves time slots at various storefronts to give Scouts the opportunity to participate in what is called a "Show-N-Sell". This provides easy sales for motivated Scouts. At a typical Show-N-Sell, a Scout can sell about 20 cards, which means he’s making $100 in two hours to help fund his Scout adventures! That’s hard to beat my friends.
Collect the money at point of sale and turn in all money and/or unsold cards to the Camp Card Coordinator by the end of April.
The Troop must pay Longhorn Council $5 per card OR return unsold cards by the May Roundtable. Our Troop does not benefit in any way from Camp Card Sales - this fundraiser is solely for the benefit of your Scout to help him pay his own way.
However, if your son receives a donation, rather than a card purchase, that must be turned in to the Troop, due to tax issues.
Please be aware that once you take possession of the Camp Cards, you are responsible for their value, i.e. if you lose them, you must pay the Troop $5 per card because that's what we must pay Council for each card that we don't return.
Please take advantage of this opportunity while you can! There are a few Show-N-Sells left this year (2018) for sign up if you’re interested - Sign up for TROOP 1910 - CAMP CARD Show-N-Sells HERE on @SignUpdotcom today!
