Become a (Sports) Basementeer

Summer is here and that means time to gear up with new biking, hiking, swimming, camping and team sport stuff. Sports Basement is spinning the traditional “loyalty” program into a win-win for their loyal customers and our Council.

Basementeers receive 10% off every item every day and 10% of their purchase is donated to Boy Scouts of America, Mt. Diablo Silverado Council!

On your next visit to Sports Basement, register as a Basementeer and select Boy Scouts of America, Mt. Diablo Silverado Council as your beneficiary! There is no membership fee if you sign up before December 31. After that, there will be a one-time $25 membership fee.

No Sports Basement in your neighborhood? Then shop AmazonSmile and register MDSC as your charity. Every time you shop at AmazonSmile, our Council will receive 1% of your purchase. Two easy ways to help local Boy Scouts while shopping for the stuff you already need.
