Camp Fire USA clubs are for youth of all ages – boys and girls! Youth participate in fun activities, projects and events.  Camp Fire USA clubs meet on their desired schedule and are generally led by two or more adults who have volunteere their time and skills. Meetings are held after school, in the evenings or on weekends. Youth learn to work together and play together. They get involved in service projects which help them become responsible citizens concerned about their communities and society.  As youth grow and develop, their interests change and leadership roles increase. Activities for Pre-K children are worlds away from those of high school seniors. The Club program addresses these differences and promises something for everyone.

Program Information:

  • Camp Fire USA club programs have four important qualities: 
    • Progression
    • Variety
    • Partnership between youth and adults
    • Rewards and recognition
  • Each program-level name symbolizes expanding opportunities, choices and leadership: 

Candy Sale
Camp Fire USA youth members have been selling Camp Fire candy since the early 1950s. Through the years, thousands of young people have helped earn money for their councils while learning valuable skills.

Camp Fire USA's Candy Sale is unrestricted revenue that is used to fund outstanding programs through the operating budget. When you buy our delicious candy, you're supporting important activities for youth in your community!
Learning and Earning
Have you seen a Camp Fire USA kid selling candy at your grocery store or retail outlet?

Has your neighborhood Camp Fire USA member asked you to purchase candy?

Have you seen and heard about the Candy Sale in your local community?

Camp Fire USA members are doing more than supporting their organization when they sell candy. They are learning valuable skills! Across the nation, children of all ages are selling candy for a good cause. This experience teaches youth to:
 
• plan
• set goals
• manage money
• improve communication
• provide service to the community
• work together
