How the Thrifty Ticket Sale Works

The Thrifty Ticket is designed to help youth fund their way to summer camp.
This is a risk-free local unit sales project where all Scouts can earn their way to Summer Camp, Sea Base, other activities or simply support unit program or supplies needs.
Each Thrifty Ticket will sell for only $10.00 to the general public and will have multiple food, service and entertainment discounts for the customer to use throughout the year.
The participating unit will keep $6.50 of the sales for each $10 Thrifty Ticket sold!
With the discounts, the Thrifty Ticket pays for itself!
Commissions from the sales are encouraged to be applied toward directly sending youth to Summer Camp programs, but they may be used as the local unit committee sees fit.

Commission
Local units will keep $6.50 for every $10 Thrifty Ticket sold by one of its Scouts provided that local unit leaders receive all funds from each Scout by Friday, May 15, 2026.

Return Policy
Thrifty Tickets can be returned to the council service center without penalty or fee up to Friday, May 29, 2026. All tickets must be returned in new condition (including snap-off discounts). NO tickets will be accepted for return after May 29, 2026. The local unit is responsible for every unsold Thrifty Ticket that is not returned (lost, misplaced, damaged, etc.) and will be charged $3.50 for each unsold ticket that is not returned or is returned in any condition other than new. Be sure Scouts and parents treat each ticket as if it were a $10 bill.
