The Trail’s End Rewards program allows Scouts to earn points for their sales and redeem those points for gift cards. This article provides a complete overview - from earning points to redeeming rewards, so Scouts and leaders know what to expect at each step.
Earning Reward Points
Eligible Sales & Point Values
Scouts earn points based on the type of sale:
Heroes and Helpers™ Credit Card Sales: 1.75 points per $1
Heroes and Helpers™ Cash Sales: 1.5 points per $1
Online Sales: 1.25 points per $1
App Credit Card Sales: 1.25 points per $1
App Cash Sales: 1 point per $1
Cash to Credit™ Bonus Points
Earn an additional 0.25 points per $1 converted using Cash to Credit™.
Points from Cash to Credit™ are split evenly among Scouts working the storefront that day, regardless of:
Which Scout or parent completed the transaction
Which shift the Scout worked
Shift length
Bonus & Promotional Points Timing
Regular reward points appear immediately after a qualifying sale.
Cash to Credit™ bonus points appear within a few minutes of the conversion.
Promotional bonus points are added once per week by Friday of the week following when earned.
Account Requirements
Each Scout must have their own registered Trail’s End account.
Only one Scout per account is allowed.
Scouts who share an account are not eligible for rewards and will forfeit all prizes.
All sales must be recorded under the Scout’s account for leaders to submit rewards.
Claiming Rewards (Scouts)
Once rewards are submitted by the Unit Leader and approved by Trail’s End:
Scouts can claim their rewards in the Trail’s End App.
Claiming deadline: June 30 of the following year
Example: 2025 sales must be claimed by June 30, 2026.
When a reward is claimed:
An email is sent with a redemption link through Tango, our Rewards vendor.
The email is sent to the email address on the Scout’s account.
Reward selections are final. eGift cards cannot be canceled, refunded, or exchanged.

Important Mastercard Notes:
Redeeming a Mastercard requires creating an account at myprepaidcenter.com
Mastercard eGift cards expire 6 months after redemption and cannot be replaced.
Physical Mastercard cards are available for a $3 fee.
Selling After Claiming Rewards
Scouts may continue selling even after claiming a reward.
If a Scout reaches a higher reward tier later, the Unit Leader can submit another rewards order.
The Scout will receive a second redemption link for the difference between tiers.
Each redemption link is redeemed separately. More Info
