Council Refund Policy

CAPITOL AREA COUNCIL
BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA
COUNCIL AND DISTRICT ACTIVITIES REFUND POLICY

The following policy statement is applicable to all council and district activities where a fee is collected by the Capitol Area Council.

1. Refund requests will only be considered if made in writing.
   
   
2. A service charge of twenty-five percent (25%) of the activity fee will be assessed on all refunds to cover the costs incurred in preparation of the activity and processing the refund.
   
   
3. Written refund requests submitted after the activity will be considered only for personal illness or family emergencies. No refund requests will be accepted after ten (10) days following the end of the activity.
   
   
4. Consideration for a full refund will be considered for special hardship cases and for advanced level training courses such as Wood Badge and Powder Horn.
   
   
5. For major activities that require a non-refundable deposit, such as council contingents to the National Jamboree and Philmont, a full refund less the non-refundable deposit will be considered based on the time of the request and the Council's ability to fill the slot with another participant.
   
   
6. Refund checks will be issued to the individual or entity paying the original fee within 30 days of receipt of the request pending its approval.
   
   
7. Fees are only transferable within the same unit to a Scout or adult leader not currently registered for that specific activity.
   
   
8. If an activity is cancelled or postponed and the participant cannot participate during the alternate date, the full fee will be refunded.
   
   

This refund policy became effective on March 22, 2006.
