Walk for Camps

Your District is busy making plans for the Walk for Camps to be held this spring. Money raised in the Walk for Camps is used to help maintain and improve our two Council camps.

This year, for the first time, your unit will be able to participate in a product sales program to help raise funds for the Walk. Money raised in the product sales will count as Walk money. The unit will keep 25% of the total raised from the product sale for unit use. We will be selling candles, cookie dough mix and snack items. Each unit will receive information at District Roundtables and each registered youth will receive a mailing early in March.
