Great Rivers Council
Cub Scout Camp Policies and Practicies

Camperships (Program Grants)

A limited number of camperships are available to help boys in need of financial assistance. An application form is available at www.grc-bsa.org or at the Council office. Early requests are necessary to ensure equitable distribution of available funds. The amount of the campership given to each Scout will vary based of economic need, but in nearly all circumstances will not exceed 50% of the price of camp.

Camp Refund Policy (from the council’s program plan)

Prior to Camper Savings Day, all fees are refundable and transferable.  Please check your Scouts’ prior commitments to summer sports and family vacations before making reservations.

After Camper Savings Day, the following policy applies:
Refund requests should be submitted in writing to the Council Service Center prior to the beginning of the camp session, or to the Camp Director upon arrival at camp.  A unit leader or Scout may request a refund of the fees under the following conditions:

  • Illness or serious accident of Scout prevents his attendance at camp.
  • Family illness or emergency prevents the Scout’s attendance at camp.

If the refund request is granted, a 20% camp readiness fee will be withheld. Scouts leaving camp early will not be eligible for partial refunds.  Refund requests submitted after leaving camp will not be honored.
