Camp Cards

How can I order Camp Cards?
You can order your Camp Cards via trails-end.com Please remember that units are responsible for the Cards they check out and that there is a return fee.

How much does each card cost?
Each Camp Card is sold for $10.00. Units will receive 45% commission on each card sold as well as free camp (as applicable)

When can I get the Camp Cards?
Camp Cards will be available for pick up at your March Roundtable meeting.

Where can I sell the Cards?
Camp Cards can be sold just like popcorn. Think of creative places to sell them!

• Store Fronts: Grocery stores, hardware stores, or near vendors on the cards
• Door-to-Door
• Mom and Dad’s Work
• School
• Church
• At your own sporting events

Please remember if you are setting up a store front or a table display, ask for permission from the establishment you are selling at beforehand. It’s always nice to leave a thank you note as well.

When can I sell Camp Cards?
The sale runs from March 4, 2025, to April 30, 2025.

How does the commission work?
The 2025 Camp Card commission is 45%.

How does my Scout get free camp?
A Scout must sell the appropriate number of cards to earn the camp program he/she would like and log all sales in the Trails End system. The reporting tools from Trails End will allow us to see which Scouts have earned free camp. In your camp registration, select the “free camp” discount and we will verify and approve it.

My Scout wants to sell, but no one else in our troop/pack does – what do I do?
Sign up your Scout under their pack or troop. Pick up the cards at the Scout office or via your District Executive, and make sure to tell the rest of your unit how great they are selling, and maybe some more Scouts will want to sell too!

Can I use the free camp for myself?
No, camps are only allowed for the Scout that sold the cards – not redeemable for an Adult or sibling at camp. But how your unit spends the commission is up to them. They may decide to use commission funds to help the adult leaders with camp.

Do I have to pay for the cards upfront?
No. Payment will be due by May Roundtable. Units will make 45% commission on each card sold.

How much commission can I make?
Each unit will make 45% commission.

How do I get my commission?
No money is due upfront, so when you sell the cards, you will keep your commission of each card sold.

Can I save this free camp and use it next year?
No, camp scholarships (free camp) must be used this year.

What if I run out of cards?
Units can check out more cards! Bring in the money for the cards you have already sold, and we will issue you more cards if they are available. This can all be done through Member Services or your District Camp Card team.

Who do I call if I have questions about camp cards?
You can call your District Executive or you can contact the council office at (402) 431-9272 or via e-mail.

Is there a return policy?
Returns of unsold cards must be returned at your May Roundtable with the following conditions:

• A unit may return up to 25% of their order.
• Additional returns over 25% will be charged a $0.25 per card restocking fee.
• Returns after May Roundtable will not be accepted and the unit will be financially responsible.

The Mid-America Council reserves the right to refuse product that has been damaged or rendered unsellable.  The unit is responsible for any unreturned Camp Cards, be they lost, misplaced, damaged, or otherwise.  Be sure Scouts and parents treat each card as if it were a $10.00 bill!
