Council wide events are planned and organized by the council with volunteer assistance. Some events are age level specific and others are open to all age levels. Program registrations are accepted when they are submitted using an Event Registration form on a first-come, first-served basis, within the registration deadlines or until the event is full. Event Registration forms will not be processed when they are submitted without the required registration fees. An event will be full and considered closed to additional registrations when the maximum number of participants has been met--which can occur before the closing registration date. Please check event listing for participant numbers and registration deadlines.
When a council event is canceled due to insufficient numbers, you will be notified and all fees will be refunded (check event listing for minimum participant numbers). In the event you wish to cancel your registration for an event for which you already paid the program fees, you must submit a NOTICE OF CANCELLATION OF REGISTRATION in writing to the Program Department. Notice of cancellation will only be honored when the notice is received no less than ten (10) business days prior to the event; after that date supplies have been purchased and money expended. A check processing fee will be withheld ($2.50 MINIMUM/ $5.00 MAXIMUM) and all other monies paid will be refunded in the form of a refund check. Allow ten business days for a refund request to be processed. In case of bad weather for any event, an alternate date will be scheduled. Any registered participant who cannot attend the alternate date will be considered for a refund.
Adult supervision is required for all council wide events. Troops/groups must have a minimum of 2 supervising adults at all times, one of whom must be a trained, appointed leader. Individually registered and non-member girls must be accompanied by an adult when attending council wide events, unless otherwise noted. Troop Leaders must have appropriate training for overnight events and outdoor events as required by council and national policy standards, as they are supervising minor children other than their own. Adult supervision is REQUIRED for all council events per Safety-wise guidelines and to ensure they have the adequate number of adults to supervise the participants.
All policies and procedures pertaining to "overnight events" apply for council wide overnight events. Individually registered girl members must have an adult accompany them on overnight events. Each troop/group is required to complete a Troop Travel/ Overnight/ Special Activity (TP-16) application for ANY council over night event. Additionally, each troop/group must have registered adults with the proper required training to attend overnight events. Check the Troop Module policy section, Safety-Wise, or your Membership Staff for a listing of required training for overnight activities.
There are no tag-alongs (boys, siblings, non-registered girl friends, etc.) allowed at events. If you bring a tag-along to a council event, you will be asked to leave. If you are supervising a troop and you do not have a minimum of two adults attending, your troop will be asked to leave. If the tag-along is a registered member of Girl Scouts in a different troop/group there is still NO insurance coverage unless they are registered in an older age level troop/group and are assisting the participating troop/group in a leadership role. If you are not sure of the tag-along status or have questions, contact the Girl Scout office and ask to speak to a program staff member.* Required Information
