In all programs offered by the Central New Jersey Council, a great deal of planning and purchasing is done well in advance.  These plans include, but are not limited to, staff, food, program materials, patches and awards, rental and purchase of equipment, and in some cases, items of clothing such as T-shirts that are given as part of a program fee.

Participants are, therefore, expected to make a financial commitment to attend.

If registration for the activity, training, or program was made by the unit, then the request for the cancellation / refund must come from the unit.  If the registration was made by an individual, then the request must come from that individual.

• There are no refunds for any activity, training, or program whose individual fee is $10 or less.  (Example:  If the fee per participant is $10 and a unit submits payment for five participants, there would be no refund available.)
• For individual fees greater than $10, 80% will be refunded if received 2 weeks prior to the date of the activity, training, or program.
• Requests due to a medical or family emergency must be submitted to the Council Office within 30 days of the completion of the event.  (Documentation of the emergency would have to be provided.)
• Refunds will not be issued until after the activity, training, or program has been completed.
• All cancellation / refund requests MUST be made in writing, be submitted to the Office Manager, and state the reason for the cancellation (e-mail communication is acceptable). 

It is the policy of this Council to assess a penalty in the amount of $25 for insufficient funds when a check is returned to the Council.

A letter from the Accounting Specialist is issued to inform the submitter of the returned check advising them another form of payment (money order, cashier’s check, or credit card) including the $25 should be submitted.

In addition, if the returned check was received after the posted registration date, late fees will be applied.

In the event the Council’s bank tried to deposit the check a second time before returning the check, an invoice will be issued for the additional penalty.

Central New Jersey Council has received permission from National BSA to link to the following on-line training courses.   These courses can help adult leaders deliver quality Scouting experiences to youth.

A log-in is required, however, anyone may create a user account and view the courses.  Registered members of the BSA may provide their member numbers (as part of the user profile) to receive credit.

If you experience any problems while taking the on-line courses from the National site, please call (800) 627-3025.

All of the courses below can now be found at the BSA Scouting.org.  If you already have a MyScouting account, simply log in as usual.

Scouting volunteers:  have your council number (CNJC - 352) and member ID handy (from your BSA registration card) when creating your account.  This will ensure you receive proper credit for courses
