Fundraising

Your Scouts get to support their own adventures! 

Watch your Scout gain a sense of ownership and responsibility. We believe every Scout should learn the value of hard work and earning their own way. The Golden Empire Council helps to instill these values by offering Popcorn and Camp Card fundraisers. We are here to partner with your child’s goals and dreams. Kickstart your fundraising today!

Scholarship cannot be sold or transferred to another Scout and have no cash value. Camp Scholarships are only good for camps operated by the Golden Empire Council during the 2025 calendar year. Only one Camp Scholarship may be earned per Scout.
