• Prior to registering a girl for a summer camp program you will need to:
1. Create a User Name and Password for yourself (her guardian). You will have access to your family roster with all family
members. For assistance with creating a user name and password please contact council during business hours to
assist you. This will help prevent any issues with losing links to family members and profiles.

support staff available to answer the [email protected] and [email protected] email accounts and the (801)
716-5145 and (801) 716-5152 phone lines on January 22 between 8 a.m. and 8 p.m.
• To register a girl for a Summer Camp Program you will need to:
1. Login in as the adult guardian council has listed as Guardian 1 for the girl.
2. Select the camp program and register the girl for camp by selecting the box next to her name. If you see a yellow
triangle next to her name, she does not meet the grade requirement for the program.
3. Complete the registration information and process the order.
4. Review payment due and registration prior to entering credit card information. Option is available to print a receipt with
verification order number. Must complete order and all information required to process correctly. Items in a cart not

Other Registration Information
• We will have computers available during business hours
at our Girl Scout Shop in Salt Lake City for your use if you

library. All you need is your credit card to pay the $50 nonrefundable, non-transferable deposit for your camper’s
camp session.
цц If you live up by Ogden, please contact Marlene
Stansfield at 801-716-5111 if you need computer
access.
цц If you live down by American Fork, please contact
Heather Smith at 801-716-5109 if you need
computer access.
• Your camper may request one buddy online; however the
system does not place them together—that is up to you!
Be sure if your camper wants to go to camp with a buddy
that you plan to get together and register for the same
session! When registering, you will have an opportunity to
list your camp buddy’s name. As long as one camper has
the buddy’s name listed, the girls will be together.
• If your camper is not a member of Girl Scouts she may still
come to camp. You will just need to pay the non-member
price which is an additional $50. But wait! Wouldn’t it be
better to register her online as a Girl Scout at www.gsutah.
org (Register tab) for $15 and then register for camp? Do it!
Note you will need to register as a Girl Scout at least 24
hours prior to registering for camp in order to receive the
member pricing.
• If you choose not to register your camper for Girl Scouts
but want to attend camp, please call 801-716-5145 or
email [email protected].

Tiered Pricing
In trying to keep camp affordable to all families while
also expressing the true cost of camp, we have adopted
tiered pricing. All campers will experience the same camp
experience regardless of which price the family can afford.
Tiered prices are listed with each camp session description
in the following order: Tier One/Tier Two/Tier Three.
Please pick the tier your family can afford. No financial
documentation is needed. Activity Scholarships are
available if your family needs assistance paying Tier Three.
$ $ $ Tier One is the actual
cost to run our camps. This reflects staffing, program
supplies, food, and maintenance costs.
$ $ Tier Two is a partially subsidized cost of camp, for
families that can pay a little more but not the actual cost of camp.
$ Tier Three is the standard fee for camp that we ask all
families to pay and it’s our fully-subsidized fee.
Apply for Activity Scholarships
Activity Scholarship Information
Activity Scholarships may be applied for after you have
completed the initial registration and paid your $50
non-refundable, non-transferable deposit. The activity
scholarship form may be found below. The form can then be
mailed to: Girl Scouts of Utah, Activity Scholarship, 445 East
4500 South, Suite 125, Salt Lake City, UT 84107 or emailed
to: [email protected]. All Activity Scholarship forms are
due April 1. Scholarships awards will be applied to your
camp balance no later than April 30.
*All applications received after April 1, will be awarded based
on funding available at that time.
Activity Scholarship Guidelines and Procedures
Purpose: To provide assistance for individual girl members
who are registered Girl Scouts and wish to attend Girl Scouts
of Utah-sponsored camps or programs, Girl Scouts of the
USA-sponsored programs, or Girl Scout destinations.
Philosophy: Activity Scholarship should fill a specific
financial need. It is not a reward for being a “good Girl Scout”
nor is it a way to repay volunteer work a parent might have
done in Girl Scouting. It is a way for Girl Scouts of Utah
to help a Girl Scout participate in an experience in which
she would otherwise not be able to because of financial
restraints. The decision to grant activity scholarship and the
amount is made on the basis of information given on the
application form. All information is kept confidential and
discussed only by those responsible for allocating the money.
Guidelines for granting financial assistance:
1. The request must be made on a current application form
and must be completed in its entirety.
2. The dollar amount of the scholarship granted is based on
availability of funds and apparent need.
3. Scholarship will be granted only to currently registered
girl members, not troops.
4. Families are expected to pay a portion of the expense for
the program or camp.
5. Participants in Girl Scouts of the USA international-,
national- and council-sponsored opportunities may
receive up to one-fourth of the actual program fees
in activity scholarship. Program applications must be
received by published program registration deadlines.
This applies to individual girls only – not troops.
6. All activity credits must be used for program fees before
the activity scholarship will be granted. Activity credits
may be used for transportation and published fees
only. Additional activity fees and personal items are the
responsibility of the participant.
7. The scholarship may be based on the number of
requests from the same family and on the total
income composition.
8. The scholarship is non-transferable and not redeemable
for cash.
9. Activity scholarship will be granted for only one like
program per program year per girl. For example, a girl
may apply for scholarship for resident camp and day
camp, or resident camp and a program, not resident
camp and troop camp in the same summer.
10.Programs that will be considered for scholarships are: All
Girl Scouts of Utah-sponsored activities, programs and
camps on a council wide, national or international
level; all GSUSA-sponsored destinations listed on
GSUSA’s website or other material published by
the national organization.

the same girl. The remainder of the camp fee (excluding
the deposit) will be refunded if:
• GSU receives a written notification of the cancellation at
least five weeks prior to the camp program.
• The camper leaves her camp program due to illness or
injury and GSU receives a written request for a refund
within two weeks after the camper returns home. The
refund will be pro-rated on a per diem basis.
• The camper cannot attend her camp program because
she becomes ill or injured and GSU receives a request for
the refund in writing with a physician’s note within one
week after the scheduled camp program.
• GSU cancels the camp program and alternative
programs were offered but you do not select one of the
alternative programs.
No refunds are given if a girl returns home during camp
because of homesickness, misconduct, parent/guardian
request, and/or any other circumstance.
Disclaimer
Girl Scouts of Utah plans quality programs for camp with
the health, safety, and well-being of the campers as our first
priority. Some sessions may be altered or cancelled due
to weather, fire, natural disaster, staffing concerns, or low
registration numbers. The Camp Director may determine
whether a girl is competent to participate in any activity,
and, if necessary, transfer her to another program. When
necessary, campers will participate in alternate activities. No
alternation or refunds will be issued if changes are made to
activities due to weather, fire, or natural disaster. If a session
is canceled due to low registration numbers, campers will be
afforded the opportunity to select another program.
