Many have asked... "will I lose my scout's TROOP non-refundable deposit for summer camp or summer high adventure, if there is a change due to TROOP changing the camp schedule or there isn't enough space for my scout?"  Quick answer... NO.  A family will be refunded their TROOP non-refundable deposit if there is a change due to the TROOP and or summer camp or summer high adventure that causes their scout to drop.  These funds can also be refunded if the scout has to drop due to a family or scout reason, IF the family / troop is able to find another scout / adult to take their spot.  Questions?  Please contact CC Kevin Ha.
