Golden Gate Area Council Refund Policy
The Golden Gate Area Council has instituted a refund policy to ensure our Scouts receive high quality programs and activities. A great deal of advanced planning and purchasing takes place for programs and events of the Golden Gate Area Council during the months and weeks prior to an event.
In order to maintain the most cost effective and positive program impact activity, camping, and event refunds of 100% cannot be given.
Refunds are not given for No-Shows, schedule conflicts, weather conditions, or behavior issues occurring before or during the event. Refunds are considered based upon the following criteria and timeline and are returned to the person or entity and in the manner in which they were received:
| Time Until Event | Refund Percent |
|---|---|
| Up to 30 Days Prior | 80% Refund |
| Up to 14 Days Prior | 60% Refund |
| 14 Days or Less Prior | No Refunds* |
* Participants who cancel from an event within 7 days will be considered for up to a 60% refund if the refund request is accompanied by a Doctor’s note. Refund requests under these circumstances will not be considered if not received at the Council Service Center more than 14 days after the start of the event.
Camp Refunds are determined based on percentage after the non-refundable deposit is subtracted.
There will be no special considerations for COVID.
