Why is this a better value than prior year's Camp Cards?
• The Scout Saver App will have thousands of local & national offers that can be
used in over 10,000 cities throughout North America. This allows the ability for
Scouts to sell to family members or loved ones that live outside of their local
area! Who doesn't want to help a scout and get lots of deals?
• Since the Scout Saver App is available on your mobile device, you will always
have your offers with you. Units can use the offers on the Scout Saver App for
out of state dining on Summer Camp or High Adventures trips. Better value
offers – 2-for-1 and 50% off

Safety Moment: Communicable
Disease Prevention, Scout is Clean.
The BSA Safety Moment on Communicable Disease Prevention is
an excellent reference on tools and techniques to prevent infection
and includes other helpful resources available from the Centers for
Disease Control. Scouts can share it with their parents to help
them become aware of simple practices that can help the entire
family remain safe and healthy.
