Boy Scout Class Schedule |
Registration fees: If you wait to pay when your Scout comes on the first day of class, cost is $35--not $30 IF there is space available in class. This is regardless of whether or not you pre-registered. No refunds, credits or transfers will be given.
Class changes: If you register for one class and then want to change the class to another one, there will be an additional fee of $5 IF there is space available in the class you are wanting to switch to. Please make sure you want the class you are registering for so you do not take a space from a Scout who truly needs the class.
