FAQ's
IS THERE A FEE FOR COURSES?
First Aid/CPR, camp certification, and some workshop days have fees. Any fees are
noted in the Training & Program Booklet with the course information. All fees must be
paid in full to register for the course. No registrations will be taken over the phone when
there is a fee unless paying with master card or visa.
IS PRE-REGISTRATION REQUIRED?
Registration is necessary for all training courses. Walk-ins may find that the course is
full, canceled, or there are not enough materials. Most training courses have a pre-
course assignment. Some registration forms are available on line or from the council
office. Sign ups are due at the council office 14 days before the training date, unless
otherwise stated. Registrations received after the deadline will be considered on a basis
of space and materials available. Participants must be 18 years or older unless
otherwise noted or pre-approved by the Adult Development Director.
WILL CONFIRMATIONS BE SENT TO ME?
You will receive confirmation of training events prior to the event, but please mark your
calendar with the date when you register. In almost all cases, your trainers are
volunteers just like you. They receive no compensation and are giving their time to make
Girl Scouting an enjoyable and worthwhile experience for the girls in your troop and for
you.
WILL MY FEE BE REFUNDED?
A class may be canceled due to bad weather, illness of a trainer, or if fewer than 5
people registered by the deadline. Registered participants will be notified by phone
about cancellations. Also, listen to local radio stations WJTN, WKSN, WHUG, WDOE,
WPIG for cancellations due to inclement weather. Refunds will be made only when
council is notified of cancellation 14 days prior to the course, or if the council canceled
the course.
