Cancellation and Refund Policy — Girl Scouts – North Carolina Coastal Pines reserves the right to cancel an activity due to insufficient registration, acts of nature, or any other reason beyond our control. Council sponsored activities are held rain or shine, unless inclement weather adversely affects the program. If an activity is cancelled or rescheduled, registered participants will be notified and refunds processed accordingly. A significant amount of planning time and money are spent months prior to the opening of council-sponsored activities and trainings. Prompt cancellation notification allows time for girls who may be on the waiting list to attend the activity. Our refund policies require notification to be provided by the customer to the Help Desk at least 15 days prior to an activity. Please review the complete policies on our website.
Requests for financial assistance are confidential and based on personal information establishing the applicant’s need. See below for the types of applications. Applications are available on our website. If you have Medicaid, you may be eligible for a Girl Scouts membership as part of your benefits. See this page for more info.
Activity Financial Assistance Financial assistance is available for registered Girl Scouts who would otherwise be unable to attend council sponsored activities.

Troop Travel is defined as an event, trip, or project that goes beyond the ordinary troop program and enhances the Girl Scout experience. Troop Travel programs are educational in nature and provide growth experiences for girls and persons involved. Only registered girl and adult members may apply for Troop Travel Assistance.
A minimum of two adults must accompany every troop to an in-person program activity unless otherwise stated. Please consult the guidelines in Safety Activity Checkpoints or Volunteer Essentials for exact ratio information. Our primary goal is to provide quality programming for Girl Scouts; space may not be available for additional adults above the stated ratio. Please note that if you exceed the number of adults required you may be asked to limit them based on space availability.
If your Girl Scout’s troop is not attending an event, they can register to attend individually – for events open to individual registration. We encourage Girl Scouts to take part in events that speak to the person they are and will grow to be. In fact, girl-led activities are the secret sauce of Girl Scouting, and it’s easy to see why. When youth step up and take ownership of their decisions, they grow into confident leaders who can make informed and empowered decisions—a valuable skill they’ll carry throughout their lives. It might be tempting to step in for youth of any age but remember that giving them space to make their own decisions—and mistakes—is how they’ll tap into their most confident selves. That’s why we ask that for individual event registration, you limit the number of adults attending. Keep in mind that facility capacities apply to the total number of youth and adults so over-registering adult members means less opportunity for youth to try new things and grow their confidence. If more than three Girl Scouts from the same troop register for an event, you may be contacted and asked to reduce the number of adults attending. At this number, we consider this a troop registration and follow the ratios outlined in Safety Activity Checkpoints. Check our Activity Calendar online for more information and to register.
