It’s Time for the 2023 Blackhawk Area Council Camp Card!
How does it work?
Units sign up to sell camp cards; 50% of the sales price is a commission that stays with the unit. Scouts sell camp cards to the general public for $10 each. This year, each District has a camp card version specific to their area, customized with exciting offers from vendors local to the District with 8-10 multi-use offers on the back.
Every Version of the 2023 Camp Card Pays for Itself in 1-2 Uses!
