How to Register for Events
In order to provide better customer service to our volunteers and to allow more girls the opportunity to participate in council events, the following registration procedures have been put into effect. It is intended that this will prevent last minute empty spots which result in event cancellations.
How and where do we register?
Registration is easy! You can do it by phone, fax, mail, internet or in person at our Newark office.
By Phone (302) 456-7150 ext. 7182 — Taunja Limberry
By Fax (302) 456-7188 — Attn: Taunja Limberry
By Internet - If an event listing shows 'REGISTER ONLINE' you can register using a credit card online, as long as the program is open for registrations.

and mail with payment to GSCB, 501 South College Ave., Newark, DE 19713.
How do we pay?
All registrations must be paid in full at the time of registration unless a deposit / payment description is listed. Payment may be made by check, cash, credit card or cookie credits.
When can we register?
Registrations open AUGUST 15 for programs scheduled for August 2008 through January 2009. Registrations open DECEMBER 15 for program events in February 2009 through July 2009. Registrations received before the opening date will be held until the opening date and processed with that day’s mail. In the event that an activity fills on opening day, registrations will be selected randomly to fill the available slots. An event is considered closed when filled whether or not we have reached the closing deadline.
When is the deadline?
Registration deadlines are 15 BUSINESS DAYS in advance of the program, unless otherwise stated in the description. These deadlines will be carefully observed.
What about cancellations and refunds?
If the council must cancel an event due to unforeseen circumstance;
all payments will be refunded or transferred to another event, if requested.If a girl/adult cancels before the closing deadline, she may: find another participant to take her place or request a refund minus the cancellation fee of $5 per person or 10% per person, whichever is greater. No refunds will be given if a participant or troop cancels after the deadline.
Event Financial Assistance
Girl Scouts of the Chesapeake Bay is grateful for the support of many individuals, service clubs and businesses for their support of financial aide. Our Council also receives aide funding from the Wilmington Flower Market, the Christmas Shop, the United Fund of Talbot County and the United Ways of Delaware, The Lower Eastern Shore of MD, the Virginia Eastern Shore and Cecil, Kent, Caroline and Queen Anne’s counties. Financial Assistance Applications for Girl Events are on the Event Registration Form.
Tag-alongs
We do not encourage tag-alongs unless it is a family event or an absolute necessity. The reasons for this are to allow sufficient space for girl participants and to minimize distractions during the event. However, we are a family friendly organization and do realize that it is sometimes necessary for a sibling to accompany a volunteer or parent to an event. Tag-alongs must not disrupt the event. If the tag-along is of the appropriate age and there are sufficient supplies available, it is acceptable for them to join in the activity. Please indicate on your registration form the age, name and gender of any sibling that will be accompanying your troop. There may be situations where it is simply not appropriate for a tag-along to attend an event. If you have questions, please contact the Program Department at (302) 456-7182.
