Info

Scouts that have registered for a Merit Badge session located at an offsite location will need to be on time for the scheduled session. Leaders should plan appropriately to have registration verification completed in a timely manner AND have Scouts to offsite locations on time. Payments Payment is to be made in full during Registration Verification and check-in on March 2nd. Advanced payments will be accepted at the Black Hills Area Council office. Payment will be accepted in the form of a unit check, personal check, or cash. No credit or debit cards will be accepted. All checks need to be payable to: Black Hills Area Council. Important Note: Do not combine payments for Merit Badge sessions and Adult Training Extravaganza, please make separate payments. Refunds will be authorized per the Black Hills Area Council Activity Refund Policy. BHAC ACTIVITY REFUND POLICY Food and program supplies are purchased in advance based upon projected youth/adult attendance. Last minute cancellations create an overstock of supplies and food that often times cannot be returned. To ensure all requests receive uniform treatment, the following refund policy has been established: • “No Shows” at activities, those sent home because of misbehavior, and Scouts leaving an activity for non-emergency reasons forfeit all fees and no refunds will be authorized. This applies to individuals and/or units. • All cancellations must be in writing and received by the Council office at least five (5) calendar days prior to an activity’s start date. Please return request addressed to the Attention of the “Refund Committee”. • The unit leader or person in charge of the unit activity must handle all refund requests. • No requests for refunds will be honored after the event. • Refund checks will be made out to the “unit” rather than an individual. NOTE: Activity personnel cannot authorize refunds. All refunds require the approval of the Refund Committee which includes the Scout Executive.
