Why Adventure Cards?
50% Commission
Each card sells for $5.00. Local Scouting units keep $2.50 automatically for each card sold. The Alamo Area Council receives the other $2.50 to help continue its support of local Scouting, and to pay for the preparation, printing and distribution costs of the card.
Great Value
Each Adventure Card includes a variety of one-time discounts along with multi-use discount offers that can be used throughout the year. Purchasers of the card can get their purchase amount back immediately when they use the coupons for their next retail purchase, or the other one-time use offers. These discount offers from local businesses make the Adventure Card an extraordinary value for Scouting supporters!
