2026 Blackhawk Area Council Spring Product Sales
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. 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 2026 Camp Card Pays for Itself in 1-2 Uses!
We are again excited to offer an add-on item to the camp card sale–Coffee! Fire Department Coffee is offering a special labeled bag of their outstanding medium roast coffee for Blackhawk Area Council Scouts to sell. Each bag of coffee sells for $15. Coffee can be sold as a Take Order item (Between January 1st and February 19th) or at Show and Sell (starts in March until May 15th). Take order Coffee Forms will be available at December Roundtables. Units have the flexibility to choose how to add coffee into their Spring sale to drive success!
