How Lake Erie Council Is Handling Events and Camping Registrations Affected by COVID-19

 RE: COVID-19 Refunds/Credits for Future Events/Camping Reservations

Event Registrations

At this point, all registrations for future events through May 7, 2020 have been transferred to existing alternate dates. If you, your family, or your unit is unable to attend the alternate date provided, please contact us so that we can create a credit to use towards future LEC events/activities. Alternate dates for paid events are listed below. 

If you have any questions about how an event credit works, please contact Jarrod Blundy at jarrod.blundy@scouting.org.

Campsite Reservations

All cabin and campsite reservations through May 7, 2020 have been canceled and payments have been credited within the facility reservation system. When making your future reservation, please choose the "mail in check" option at checkout to book the reservation, and then let us know by contacting Jarrod Blundy at jarrod.blundy@scouting.org so that we can apply the credit.

Summer Camp Early-Bird Payments

For Scouts BSA Resident Camp at Beaumont Scout Reservation, first payments are due by March 20, 2020. We know that COVID-19 has caused disruptions to unit meetings and consequently some units may have difficulty being able to meet this deadline. Therefore, as long as a full payment is received by April 24, the Scout will receive early-bird pricing. If additional time is needed, please contact Camp Director Phil Williams at philip.williams@scouting.org, or Business Manager Noah Boksansky at noah.boksansky@scouting.org.

For Lake Erie Council Cub Scout and Webelos summer camping programs, the early-bird payment deadline remains May 1, 2020. All Scouts who are registered and paid for by May 1, 2020 will receive early bird pricing. If additional time is needed, please contact Camp Director Jarrod Blundy at jarrod.blundy@scouting.org.

Refunds

If you are unable to use a future reservation credit or an event/activity credit within the next 12 months, we are able to process a refund for events or reservations that have been canceled by Lake Erie Council. Refunds will be processed within 24 hours and payment should be received within 7 business days.
