An important reminder for all units:

The Lake of the Ozarks Scout Reservation is a patrol-method cooking camp. We do not operate a dining hall. Our food service commissary will deliver food for each meal to you, and the unit will prepare their meals at their campsite. 

Things you will need for registration:

• First Name Last Name
• Date of Birth
• Unit information
• *Scouting Member ID Number* ( This is REQUIRED to attend Camp if you can not verify online please check with your local council to make sure they have updated their system or you can send proof of membership to Melissa.Cobb@Scouting.org)
• Scouting rank
• Class Schedule
• Emergency Contact
• Allergies
• Dietary Restrictions
• Medical Concerns
• T-Shirt size ( if applicable )

I know this is a lot of information but this is why we highly recommend the parent portal so that each scout can enter their own information if needed. 

Cancellation and Refund Policy:

Event Coordinators reserve the right to postpone or cancel an event if registrations are insufficient to cover the event expenses up to five days prior to the event. If an event is postponed or canceled, the registrant will have an option to receive a full refund or transfer fees to a future or different event. 

In the event a participant or unit must cancel, you must inform GRC of your inability to attend no less than 7 days prior to the event. 

All refund requests must be submitted to the Council office via this online portal, or via the paper refund request form, no later than 7 days following the event
(The request must be made prior to unit check-out for summer camp requests). 

A unit leader, scout, or parent, may request a refund of fees under the following conditions only:
♦  Illness or serious accident prevents the scout from attending the event.
♦  Family illness or emergency prevents the scout from attending the event.
♦  The event has been canceled or postponed by the event coordinator.
♦  Other situations deemed permissible by the event coordinator.

Refund requests for a Scout or leader who changes their mind about attending or decides to not attend for any reason other than those listed above, WILL NOT BE considered.

IF a refund is approved, a 25% readiness fee will be deducted along with the NON-REFUNDABLE deposit.
Opting for the refund to be credited to your unit shop account (for GRC units only) will reduce the readiness fee to 15%.
The final approved amount is decided by the team.

*additional activity fees are non-refundable.*
