10 Parents! Why should you put your own time into this fundraiser? Builds confidence in Scouts. Scouts take ownership of their camp fees. Teaches self-reliance and personal responsibility. Assistance with Camp costs for Families and Scout Units in need. Draws Scouts outdoors to have fun with other kids. Teaches Scouts the value of perseverance. Strengthens teamwork and social skills by working with other Scouts. Master goal-setting and completing goals. Scouts are more involved in the Scouting program. Scouts not only sell Camp Cards, they sell character and a better community. 10

11 How to Handle Objections: Customer Says... I m too busy to use the card. What You Should Do/Say Let the customer know the card fits right in your wallet. Camp Cards don t expire until the end of the year. Respond This coupon (say which one) would help you save time! I don t have time right now. I already buy/bought a discount card from the high school sports teams/band/cheerleaders. Ask the customer if they just have 10 seconds, or if you can talk to them when they leave the store. Tell the customer what makes Scouting different from the rest. Remember Scout Law and the mission of Scouting. Sports/band/cheerleading don t have the values that Scouting does! I m fine. Or I don t need one. If the store you are selling at is similar to a coupon on the card, make the connection for the customer. Ask them what businesses they go to regularly and point out related coupons. I ll get back to you. Or I need to check with my wife, husband, dog, goldfish, etc. I don t have enough cash. Or I don t want to spend the money. I don t know where these businesses are. Or None of these businesses are close enough. Buy it now and you won t have to think about it later. Why add one more thing to think about? Won t your wife be happy you saved money today? Point out the nearest ATM. Compare the value of the card to the cost of the card. Compare it to other items of similar cost like buying coffee or lunch. Know where the nearest locations are ahead of time, so you can say, Did you know there s one right down the street? This store is worth going to because of the discount. I don t go to any of those businesses. Suggest the customer try something new at a discount. They can t lose! The customer could use the coupon on their kids, friends, or family. Get creative! What else can you say? If you have more ideas, share with your Troop, Pack., Crew, Team, Ship or Post. 11
