Commission:

The 2012 Camp Card commission is 50% if your unit is paid in full by June 1.  Commission drops to 30%  on June 1 at 5:00 pm.  Commission drops to 15% on June 10.   We encourage units to set up Scout accounts so Scouts can pay for summer camp with Camp Card proceeds; however, it is up to the unit to elect to do this, we understand the unit may have another program goal.  Units do not have to pay for any cards upfront.

Create a plan and train your Scouts in all three methods; this will give you the best results.

Safety & Courtesy:

• Never enter anyone's home
• Never sell after dark, unless with an adult
• Don't carry large amounts of cash

• Be careful of dogs while selling
• Say thank you whether or not the prospect buys a Camp Card
