Benefits for Parents
Parents will love the benefits of the program. Boy Scouts of America® Discover® Prepaid Card:
- Encourages financial accountability with online tracking of purchases, so parents and Scouts can talk about how to spend and budget responsibly.
- Helps Scouts become more financially astute, by providing tools for use in budgeting and managing money. Additional information and regularly updated content is included on the website.
- Is secure because only the Scout can use the card, and online account information is password protected.
Do you know where and how your Scout is spending their money?
The Scout Discover Prepaid Card program provides parents with complete control over the Card. Parents can monitor spending and control how much money is on the Scout Discover Prepaid Card over the phone and on the web.
Do you find yourself stopping at the ATM or loaning out your credit or debit card to your Scout when they need money?
Parents rarely carry cash these days. This program provides a convenient, secure, and simple way to load the Scout's card, so your Scout always has the money they need. The Scout Discover Prepaid Card can be loaded via one-time loads, recurring "allowance" loads, as Scouts complete objectives (such as requirements for merit badges, chores, etc.), or by direct deposit from your Scout's employer or your employer.
Has your Scout lost or had money stolen in the past?
The Scout Discover Prepaid Card is safer than cash because if it's lost or stolen, you are protected with Zero Cardholder Liability. You'll possibly pay nothing for unauthorized purchases.
