Be Sure to Check Out These Camp Card Updates
Our Camp Card team has two additional updates for those participating in the Dan Beard Council Camp Card Sale:
- The Camp Card Sale will be extended to June 30, 2020. All camp card returns and final payments will be due on or before that time.
- While we know some units and Scouts have still had some success selling cards through online, text, and email, we do not want to penalize any of our units who have not had the opportunity to sell. While we are hopeful that your unit may still have the opportunity to sell some cards before the end of the sale, the committee has determined that there will be no restocking fee for returned cards for this year’s sale.
