In all programs offered by the Winnebago Council, Boy Scouts of
America, a great deal of planning and purchasing takes place well in
advance of an event. This includes, but not limited to, staff, food,
program materials, patches, awards, rental items, purchase of
equipment, and in some cases T – shirts and hats.
When an individual or group makes a reservation for an activity or
program, they are included in the ordering of program materials and
staffing for the event.
When a reservation is not honored, the costs must be absorbed by
those attending and in some instances this prevents others from
attending an event.
Individuals or groups that cancel a program reservation 30 days
prior to the date of the event will receive an in-house credit of
fees paid, less a 15% charge. Request for refunds MUST be received
in writing in order for credit to be applied.
Scouting units that cancel a program reservation 30 days prior to
the date of the event will receive a credit to their unit account of
fees paid, minus a 15% charge. Request for refunds MUST be received
in writing 30 days prior in order for credit to be applied.
No refunds will be made after the 30 day cancellation deadline.
If an emergency occurs, beyond your control, write or call the
Council Service Center immediately. All requests will be considered
on an individual basis, the 15% administrative charge will still
apply.
If the Winnebago Council has to cancel an event, the fee may be
transferred to another event, credited to the unit’s account, or
refunded.
This policy covers all District and Council events and programs,
with the exception of Philmont, Florida Sea Base, Northern Tier,
Jamboree, Eagle Claw, and Okpik.
Winnebago Council is committed to sound financial stewardship, your
cooperation and understanding will insure the lowest possible fees
while maintaining the highest level of quality programs possible.
