Q: Can a girl sign up for a program/event without her troop or if she is not in a troop?
A: Yes! A girl can sign up independent of her troop. A girl can also sign-up for a program if she is neither in a troop or a Girl Scout, and she then needs to become a member by registering them for the event with the Program Event Registration Form and include a Membership Registration Form and the $10 annual Girl Scout membership fee.

Q: Can a girl bring a non-Girl Scout friend to a program/event?
A: Yes! Siblings and friends are welcome to join us if they meet the age requirement of the program. The friend simply needs to register for the event with the Program Event Registration Form and include a Membership Registration Form and the $10 annual Girl Scout membership fee. The membership fee is paid once yearly (October - September). Please do not bring children who are not within the age requirement (also known as Tagalongs) unless otherwise noted in the event description.

Q: Do adults have to attend programs/events?
A: Please see the girl/adult ratio that is specified under each program description. Unless it is clearly noted, a minimum of 2 adults must accompany every troop. Please note not only the minimum, but also the maximum number of adults that are allowed. 1 adult with every 1-5 Daisies, 1-6 Brownies, 1-8 Juniors, 1-10 Cadettes and 1-12 Seniors. A girl registering individually or without her troop must have an adult accompany her unless otherwise specified. Our primary goal is to provide programs for girls. As a result ther may not be space for additional adults above the aforementioned ratio.

Q: How does a girl apply for a financial scholarship?
A: Financial assistance is available for all programs unless noted. Financial scholarships are available for girls who are individually registering for events and girls who are registering with their troop. An individual girl is eligible to apply for three scholarships during the year and scholarships are limited to girls only. When submitting the appropriate event registration form, please also submit the Financial Scholarship Form. Event registration cannot be processed until both forms are received.
Note: You must submit registrations that include Financial Scholarship requests via mail or fax; we cannot process them through our online registration process.

Q: How does a girl use event credit?
A: Event credit is issued to girls who have participated at a certain level in the Council product sales. To use event credit, please include the event credit number and amount on your registration form in the appropriate location. Troop Leaders: It is important that the event credit be directly connected to the girls who will be using it. Please note expiration date on event credit. Adults cannot use event credit. All Family Programs are excluded from event credit.
Note: You must submit registrations that include Event Credits via mail or fax; we cannot process them through our online registration process.

Q: What if a girl cannot attend the program?
A: If a girl who was originally registerd cannot attend the event, leaders may substitute another girl from the troop to take her place, but you must call the Council and inform us of the substitution. If a girl cannot attend and there is no substitution to be made, please call the Council office as soon as possible so we can place someone from the waiting list in the event -- "no shows" deprive other girls the opportunity to attend events. If a refund is requested prior to receiving the postcard confirmation for the event, you will receive the refund less a $5 non-refundable, per person, processing fee. Fees for confirmed participants are non-refundable. Full refunds will be given if girls cannot be placed in the event of their choice.
