Scout Saver Cards are Here, Earlier than Ever—Get Yours Now!

Like in previous years, we have a great way for Scouts to earn money-the Scout Saver Cards! These cards are similar to starving student cards. They are full of free and discounted items from local businesses, along with a ticket to our annual Scout Show. Each card costs $30, and for every ticket sold, Scouts get $15 toward camp, gear, and other supplies. We've had units who have paid for their entire camp fee through selling tickets. And this year, they are available earlier than ever before and last even longer-through the end of 2019. Click HERE to get your troop started selling cards or purchase your own.

 

Sign up Now for Winter Klondikes at Camp Maple Dell

Winter Klondike derbies are the perfect opportunity to get in your monthly camping activity while enjoying a Scout's winter wonderland at Camp Maple Dell. This overnight adventure is available for troops, young women, and all youth aged 11-18. Leaders get in for free. Come ready to enjoy activities like snowshoeing, tomahawk throwing, zip-lining, rifle shooting, and more. And, don't forget to take advantage of the early-bird discount available until December 15th! Sign up with the discounted rate HERE.

 

2019 Summer Camp is Filling Fast—Register Today

Did you know that most of our 13 council camps are open for 2019 registration? This summer is super important to attend Scout Camp, as it will be your last chance to go to with your ward unit! We know next year is critical for Church units since it is the last year of Church sponsorship so we have all the resources you may need to help you with advancement and program, starting with summer camp. And we also have some exciting things happening next year as we celebrate the partnership between Scouting and the Church. Spots are filling quickly and classes will soon become limited, so register today!
