The Boy Scouts of America, Alamo Area Council Adventure Card Program provides an opportunity for Cub Scout Packs, Scout BSA Troops, and Venturing Crews to help pay their Scouts’ way for camps and other programs; to help units pay for their spring and summer activities or special projects; and for the council to continue quality programs, activities and facilities that support Scouting in our 13 counties in South Central Texas.

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!
Simple Program
- Local units check out Adventure Cards at district roundtables or the council service center.
- Units distribute cards to their youth members – two easy-to-use forms help keep track of cards.
- Youth sell the cards to friends, neighbors, family members, and others
- Youth turn in $5.00 for each card sold (or not returned), and any unsold cards, to their units.
- Units turn in $2.50 for each card sold. All unsold cards returned to the council before deadline are not charged to unit up to the limit of 25% of cards checked out by the unit. (If 100 cards are checked out, a unit could return a max of 25 cards to the council. The unit will be responsible for selling/paying for all other cards.)
