How Does the AAC Camp and Activity Credit Work? 

• If a Scout sells 100 cards and chooses the AAC Camp and Activity Credit as the prize recognition – that’s $60.00.
• With a $60 credit, a Cub Scout can attend events such as Spooky-Ree, Spring Fling or even Day Camp.
• For Scouts BSA, credit can used for OA Events, Conservation Weekend, Merit Badge Summit, or summer camp. 

The AAC Camp and Activity Credit can be used for a variety of activities in the Atlanta Area Council and not just summer camp. The more cards sold, the higher the credit.

Camp Card Top Seller Event

The Atlanta Area Council is excited to partner with the Scout Shop to present this year’s Camp Card Top Seller Shopping Spree. Top 3 Scouts will get a Shopping Spree in the Scout Shop. Details and Rules to follow.

Reminder: 2nd prize sheet is due in just a few weeks on April 1st. Looking forward to seeing which Scouts will be on the Top Seller Scorecard.
