Camp Cards 2021

As we continue to "do our best" during these uncertain times, plans continue for camp card sales for those Scouts that wish to participate. Scouts want to go to camp! The more cards they sell, the more BSA fun they can have!

Alamance, Akela, Guilford & Caswell/Person Co cards are available for distribution.
Davie, Davidson, Randolph & Rockingham Co cards will be available in late Feb.

Since there are no in-person leader meetings currently, arrangements will need to be made between unit leaders and district executives. If you have not already done so, please contact your executive with your desired quantity and to make plans for pick up. The deals on this year's cards can be seen here
