BSA Summer Reading Program
Ask for a punch card at any scout shop, purchase (and read) five books, chosen from titles listed on the official Summer Reading Series Book List, and you'll receive a $5 Scout Shop Gift Card. It's that simple.
The book list includes some pretty cool titles like "Let's Go Hiking," "Nature Detectives," and "The Scouter’s Companion," etc just to name a few. Find out more about this program here.
