CAMPERSHIPS

We want every Scout to have an opportunity to attend Camp. No Scout should ever be turned away on the basis of need. "Camperships" are available to Scouts who demonstrate financial need. Forms may be obtained at the BSSC.

Camperships are available to all youth who demonstrate need and qualify under the following requirements:

1) The youth applicant must have helped to support their unit through a unit fund-raiser over the past year (unit confirms on form).

2) The Scout's unit must have participated in a family FOS presentation in the Spring prior to Camp.

3) The Scout's unit must have participated in the Fall or Spring popcorn sale prior to Camp.

4) The Unit must pick up part of the summer camp bill for the Scout (unit lists amount on campership form)

REFUND POLICY

The purpose of all council and/or district activities is to provide not only fun and adventure for the Scout over and above the program that the local unit may provide but planned to provide a growth experience that the Scout's unit may not have the resources to provide. In preparation for all council and/or district activities, a budget is developed by the volunteer chair and the staff advisor. The budget provides the guidelines for setting a participation fee. Activities are budgeted to break even once all expenses and commitments have been honored. Often when some high adventure or national activities are planned, attendance guarantees must be made months in advance.

NO REFUNDS WILL BE MADE FOR NON-PARTICIPATION

Council and/or District Activities (includes Cub Scout Day Camp):

All requests for refunds must be made in writing to the Chief Cornplanter Council, BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA, at least two weeks prior to the event. All written requests must include the specific reason(s) for non-participation. Registration fees for council and/or district activities will not be returned until after the event, and may be discounted for any expenses that have been incurred and are not recoverable.

Should an event be cancelled by the event or council leadership, full refunds will be made to individual participants through the unit's "Unit Account". Requests for refunds due to post-poned or rescheduled activities or events will be handled on an individual written request basis.

Council Resident Camps:

Camping fees are not refundable, unless written notice is received in the council Service Center two (2) weeks prior to the start of the camp period. Emergency cancellations (less than two (2) weeks due to a death in the family, illness, or severe injury, etc. will be handled on a case by case review. No refund requests will be considered after the camp period has begun. Camper fees may be transferred to another Scout (camper) within the same unit.

A 25% administrative fee will be deducted from all refund requests. Refunds will not be processed until the end of the camping season. Refunds will be issued only to the individual that made the payment and whose name appears on the receipt.

High Adventure Trips and National Activities:

All requests for refunds must be in writing to the Chief Cornplanter Council, BOY SCOUTS OF AMERICA. All written requests must include the specific reason(s) for non-participation. All requests for refunds must be received at the council Service Center at least four (4) weeks prior to the date the expedition is scheduled to depart. Refunds will not be processed until the close of the trip or activity.

With all trips and activities, the initial registration fee is not refundable. A refund of the balance of fees paid, above the registration fee, may be discounted for any expenses that have been incurred and are not recoverable and/or national fees paid.

Deposits and any fees paid by alternates on stand-by lists will be returned if space does not permit participation.

TRADING POST

A Trading Post will be open during scheduled periods throughout each day. The Trading Post offers Scouts, Leaders, and visitors a chance to purchase Scouting literature, craft kits, T-shirts, patches, mugs, snacks, drinks, and much more.

TRANSPORTATION...

Transportation is the responsibility of the parent(s) and the pack. To make the trip to and from the Warren County Fairgrounds fun , parents are encouraged to organize car pools. Just remember every Scout Scout riding in an automobile, there must be a seatbelt

Financial Aid

If your Cub would like to attend the Cub Scout Summer Adventure but are financially unable to do so, you may request "Financial Aid" from the Council. It is the policy of the Chief Cornplanter Council that no boy will be kept from Scouting activity based on financial need. Packs utilizing the Scout Budget Plan and individual boy accounts, should have enough money to fund a boy for any event if that boy participated in a Pack fundraiser, but sometimes this isn't always the case. If your son has a financial need, you may request a Financial Aid form from the Betts Scout Service Center.

CLOSING PROGRAM & FAMILY PICNIC...

On Sunday every family is invited for a day of fun, closing program and family picnic. Come and see what your son has been doing and have some fun. There will be no extra charge for the family picnic unless you are bring other children or adults who have not previously registered. Their cost will be just $7.
