Camping is the prime venue for delivering the program of Scouts Canada.

When a group reserves a facility, other Scouting youth are excluded from using that facility at that time. Quite often that might be the only camping opportunity for a youth during that season.

In addition Scouts Canada has a very large financial investment in all its facilities.

With these two concepts in mind, Central Ontario Administration Centre's policy is:

If a group makes a reservation and cancels with six weeks or less of the beginning of the function, that group is financially responsible in full. There are some exceptions:

1. All camp permits and invoices will be sent electronically to groups making a reservation. Only by request will permits and invoices be sent by mail.
2. If a group withdraws their reservation, and another group reserves it; then, the original group would be released from its financial commitment.
3. If you wish to reserve another facility at any of our camps, within the same financial year (September 1 to August 31), we can sometimes transfer the amount owing.
4. The financial responsibility is in effect for Scouts Canada’s financial year; namely, (September 1 to August31).
5. Periodically exceptional circumstances, such as extreme snowstorms and certain tragedies, would warrant an exemption.

Scouts Canada reserves the right to cancel a booking at any time.                                                                                               (Revised Jan 2012)
