Refund Policy

A written request with a brief explanation for the cancellation must be sent to the Verdugo Hills Council Service Center (webmaster@vhcbsa.org).

For refunds of event fees, the request should be received by the Service Center at least 72 hours prior to the event starting time. Refunds by check or credit card will have a 10% administrative fee withheld (minimum $5). You may transfer the registration to another person for the same event with no fee. You may also choose to receive your refund as credit towards other events with no fee. Requests within 72 hours of the start of the event will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

Facility deposits are non-refundable, other facility fees can be refunded. You may request your refund as credit towards other reservations, in which case your deposit will be applied as well.

Donations are non-refundable.
