Get the Rundown on Campsgiving 2020
Have you ever wondered what in the world “Campsgiving” was? Well, you’re in the right place – we’ve got the full breakdown for you! Check out everything from how you can celebrate Campsgiving to yummy recipes and even the rundown for our live, virtual events on Facebook and Instagram this year.
Campsgiving is always memorable, but this year, we want to make sure that you have all the gear you need to make it easy. Keep on reading for the details on the Campsgiving deal, along with how to enter and win a pretty amazing prize pack.
Campsgiving is the BSA’s way of celebrating our favorite parts of Thanksgiving… gathering with family and loved ones AND taking that celebration outdoors! This Thanksgiving season don’t let the fun stop at the dining table. Go outside – unplug from technology and plug into connecting with your favorite people, in the best place (the wide-open air, of course!). Create a meal to be remembered outside of your house walls… we think it’s the best way to make the most of getting ‘out there’ and spending time with your people.
Well, first thing’s first. Decide who you are going to gather with - be sure to follow your local and CDC guidelines! Secondly, Campsgiving is all about getting outside. So, pick a spot – a local park, your backyard, or a campground all make perfect backdrops to a good time. Lastly, lay out a menu. This can look like anything from hotdogs and s’mores dip around a campfire to a full-blown turkey dinner!
If you are looking for some meal ideas, we’ve got a few to choose from – just check out Scout Chef Kitchen.
We want to make sure that you’ve got what you need to not only make Campsgiving successful (because let’s be real… how can spending time outside and with loved ones be anything other than a success, even if there are mistakes made with the food… lol), but also to keep you and your people comfortably camping after Campsgiving, too! From November 9th – November 14th, you can take 25% off select camping gear! All you need to do is use the promo code ADVENTURE at checkout, and watch that total drop.
This year, we’ve lined up four chances to score some free gear! You can participate by tuning into our Campsgiving extravaganza on Facebook (aka our Campsgiving Live event) and commenting in the chat. When you comment, you will automatically be entered to win and we will choose four lucky winners during the live event. And, drumroll… we are going to be giving away three GCI camp tables and one grand prize Campsgiving bundle that will include the Lodge 4-in-1 Dutch Oven tool (use it as a lid lifter, bail lifter, cook stand, OR lid stand and it folds up to fit inside of Dutch ovens that are 10” or larger – perfect for transport), the Klymit Static V sleeping pad, the GSI 7-Piece Dinnerware set, the GCI Master Cook Station, and an ENO Moon Lantern.
Again, be sure to watch the Facebook live event on Friday, November 13th to get in on your chance to win – more details below!
We are throwing a virtual Campsgiving party with all our favorite experts, and YOU are invited.

If all that isn’t enough reason to tune in, we’ve also got a giveaway ready to go that you can win by watching the live event.
