2026 Scout Cards Fundraiser
A fundraiser for every kind of unit
Scout Cards are discount cards sold for $10 each that feature local dining, entertainment, and service offers. They provide excellent value to customers while enabling Scouts to fund their Scouting experiences — from summer camp to activities and gear.
Units earn a 50% commission (approximately $5 per card sold) that can be used for unit activities or to help Scouts pay for their own fees.
Exact value, commission structure, and offers for 2026 will be updated when the Leader’s Guide and card images are finalized.
Card Designs Vary by County
Scout Cards
Are Awesome!
The Scout Card fundraiser is a simple way for Scouts to earn their way through Scouting while building confidence, responsibility, and real-world skills. Units register and request cards, Scouts sell them to family, friends, neighbors, and local supporters, and then turn in their sales and funds at the end of the campaign.
Each $10 card offers valuable discounts from local businesses, making it an easy and appealing sale for customers. Units earn a meaningful portion of each card sold to support unit activities, offset registration and camp costs, and help make Scouting more accessible to every family.
Along the way, Scouts practice communication, goal-setting, money management, and customer service — all while engaging positively with their community.
