Online Sales:
Online sales are the easiest way to sell the Scout Saver Coupon Card.

family members, co-workers, corporations, and everyone they know, to buy the Coupon
Card. The savings are tremendous, and everyone can benefit from this years’ Coupon Card.

(makes a great thank you gift!),

5 Easy Steps to Online Selling:

there are no Credit Card Fees charged to the buyer.
Please be mindful of our Youth Protection Guidelines. Scouts who send
information to an adult must copy another adult on the message.
3StoreFront Sales:
Unit members contact stores (in your area) to sell the coupon cards in front of their store.
Pick stores that have a lot of foot traffic. Schedule your storefront dates for late-February
through June 2021.

Note: The StoreFront Partners mentioned above support Scouting. Contact as many as
possible. Many of them have coupons on the Online/Mobile App, including Safeway!
COVID-19 Safety Guidelines:
Your unit committee must develop a COVID-19 safety plan and share it with your Chartered
Organization to receive further guidance and permission to meet in-person. Your Chartered
Organization may have a policy and requirements on meetings and public outings. We advise
you to communicate this plan to each of your Scouting families.
Units must follow the safety guidelines outlined in the “COVID-19 Safety Guidelines
for StoreFront Sales” in the Training and Resources section of the SSCC website.
8 Easy Steps to Scheduling StoreFront Sales:

2. Contact the Store Managers and ask them if they will support their local Scouts by
agreeing to a StoreFront Sale.
3. Inform the Store Manager that the Coupon Card will benefit their customers by saving
them money.

help Scouts.

and they are selling the benefits of Scouting. Emphasize that each card sold helps a Scout go
to camp. The reason our sale will be successful is that people want to support Scouting.
FOR A SUCCESSFUL SALE, ENSURE YOUR SCOUTS:
• Wear a Scout Uniform, smile, and say their first name.
• Tell the customer their unit number.

• Tell the customer how the Scouts are going to use the money.
• Close the sale, and always say Thank You!
RETURN POLICY
Scout Savers Coupon Cards may be turned to the council office without penalty until July 9,
2021. The cards must be in new condition, including snap-offs still attached.
Bulk purchases are not refundable or returnable.
Units are responsible for any cards that are lost, stolen, misplaced, or damaged.
Scouts and parents should treat the cards like a $5 dollar bill.
7SUPPLEMENTAL ORDERS
The council will order Camp Cards based on the Unit Commitment Forms. A few extra cards
will be ordered. While supplies last, additional cards may be requested through your District
Executive/Director or at the Council Office.
Set a Unit sales goal!
Parents will support this program if there is a clear, concise goal and reason (i.e. Summer
Camp, Day Camp, Equipment, Trailer, Pinewood Derby Track, etc.).
A unit should establish a unit goal and then develop a per Scout expectation. Think in terms
of 67 Camp Cards (Cub Scout Resident Camp) or 125 Camp Cards (Scouts BSA Summer
Camp), minimum. Encourage every Scout to earn his or her way to camp. At a minimum,
Scouts can pay for their registration fee by selling only 25 Camp Cards.
Scouts should coordinate sales times using a poster in front of high traffic areas (stores,
banks, churches). Please check with your District Chair for information.
Conduct an ENTHUSIASTIC Kick-off! A boring and dreary sales pitch to the Scouts and
Families will result in boring and dreary commissions! Dream BIG! Small dreams have no
magic! Be VERY clear with parents as to how the money earned will be used for the Scouts.
This is especially important if it is to be used for anything other than camp!!!
Create a sense of urgency! People react to deadlines. “We would like to have our campaign
wrapped up by next week.” If given three months to sell, families will take three months to sell,
and sell everything the last week anyway.
Control your inventory! You will also want the flexibility to provide additional cards to Scouts
who are selling their Camp Cards quickly. Trying to collect unsold cards from Scouts in an
effort to redistribute them is very time-consuming.
Encourage and promote the Online Sales. This is the easiest way to sell the Scout Saver
Coupon Card. Coupons are accessible in all 50 States!
8Unit Incentives
Units that sell 500 Scout Saver Coupon Cards throughout the sale will receive a $50 gift
card to the Scout Shop. This offer is cumulative; for example:
• Sell 500 Cards, unit receives a $50 gift card to the Scout Shop
• Sell 1,000 Cards, unit receives an additional $50 gift card to the Scout Shop
• Sell 1,500 Camp Cards, unit receives a total of $150 in gift cards (and so on.)
The value of selling Scout Saver Coupon Cards:
(Listed below are the approximate costs of each of these items)
New Uniform - $100 = 40 cards New Tent - $150 = 60 cards
Cub Scout Resident Camp - $200 = 80 cards (67 using Camp Commission)
Scouts BSA Resident Camp - $375 = 150 cards (125 using Camp Commission)
High Adventure Base - $1,400 = 560 cards

summer camp, with a 60% camp credit commission rate.
Camp Cards can be sold to fund your entire Scouting year in whole or in part by
using this following budget (use annual totals):
Number of Scouts in unit ____________
Cost of awards per Scout ____________
Unit’s annual dues per Scout ____________
National registration and insurance fees per Scout __$64.00____
Total monthly activity costs per Scout ____________
Summer Camp fee per Scout ___________
Unit equipment annual depreciation per Scout _____________

additional fundraisers; ideally your NET Camp Card sale should be at least as much as
your total camp fees (line 1 x line 6).
