Registration

Registration Information & FAQ

Registration opens August 16 for 2010-2011 Council Programs!

We strongly recommend registering early, as sessions may fill quickly. All programs close two weeks before the program date if not filled earlier. See the information at right for details about how to register.

When will I receive a confirmation?

Confirmations with a map, driving directions, and other detailed information will be sent two weeks prior to the date of the program by email (if provided) or by mail.

How much do the programs cost?

Program fees vary per participant depending on the length of the program as well as the equipment, materials, recognition cost, staff time, and preparation required.

Where are the programs held?

Programs are held throughout the GSNWGL Council jurisdiction. We utilize our Council facilities as much as possible to provide programs. We also have many community partners that allow us to offer more programs to give girls additional opportunities in more areas.

Are teen leadership opportunities available?

Yes! Girl Scout teens are always welcome and encouraged to assist at events. Teens are required to attend Program Aide (PA) or Leader In Training (LIT) prior to volunteering to learn how to assist girls at events. Contact the Prgram Department for information: program@gsnwgl.org.

What is the cancellation/refund policy?

To keep costs low, refunds will only be issued if the event is canceled by the Council or for family/medical emergency (requests must be made in writing). If by the registration deadline you cannot attend the event for which you have paid, you may transfer the fee within two months to another Council Program Event.

Do troop leaders need to attend?

Troop leaders and parents are encouraged to attend, but not required. If attending, adults will be asked to assist with activities and to ensure appropriate girl behavior. Parents or troop leader should also ensure that health forms are completed and available the day of the event.

Can the troop stay overnight?

Yes, if the program is held at a reservable Council facility, you can coordinate your attendance with an overnight for the troop at the same facility, based on availability. Registrations need to be made separately and will be confirmed separately. It is helpful to note this on both registrations.

What about severe weather?

Stay tuned to local media or check our website if you have any questions or concerns about the cancellation of an event due to dangerous weather conditions. Cancellations will be announced by noon for an evening program and 6:00 a.m. for a morning program.

Is financial assistance available?

Financial assistance is available to all girls, if needed. Please fill out the Event/Program Financial Assistance Request form completely and send to a Council Service Center. A letter will be sent to you with the balance due.
