The Time Has Come to Join the Scout Card Fundraiser!
Scout Cards are discount cards packed with local deals and savings at popular businesses, making them an easy sell and a great value for supporters.
Scouts sell each card for $10 and keep $5 from every card sold to help pay for camp fees, registration, and other Scouting activities. It’s a simple and effective fundraiser that teaches Scouts responsibility, goal setting, and confidence while supporting their Scouting adventures.
We’re just days away from receiving our shipment and getting cards into the hands of Scouts. Place your order today!
⚠️ Please note: There are no returns on Scout Cards. Order only the quantity your unit can confidently sell.

Outstanding Work, Scouts!
Two of our Arrow of Light Scouts, Iker and Lucio from Pack 130, delivered an impressive STEM presentation to Pack 114, completing their final requirement for the prestigious Supernova Dr. Charles H. Townes Award.
Over the past year, these dedicated Scouts completed three STEM Nova awards across Packs 114, 2131, and 738, earning approval to begin their Supernova projects in December. Working closely with their mentor, Mr. Scott Carrano, they tackled a wide range of hands-on science, engineering, technology, and math activities, showcasing just how diverse and engaging the Scouting program can be.
They proudly submitted their completed project binders for award consideration—a true testament to their curiosity, commitment, and teamwork.
Well done, Iker and Lucio!
