Property Cancellation Policy

In support of a program that empowers youth to direct their personal progression and growth, Scouts Canada continually aims to improve accessibility to our properties for Scouting Groups across Canada to benefit from. When a Group reserves a facility/site, other Groups are excluded from using that facility/site at that time. Maintaining and operating quality properties is also associated with large financial investments. 

With these two concepts in mind, the Scouts Canada’s Property Cancellation Policy is as follows: 

 

Scouts Canada Property Bookings Cancellation Policy
All booking-related requests must be submitted in writing to propertybookings@scouts.ca and must include the order/registration number
All Bookings

A 20% non-refundable deposit will be required up front to secure your booking. Bookings are not confirmed/secured until the deposit payment is received.

Some reservations with a value of $100.00 or less may require payment in full at the time of booking. (Some exceptions apply)

The 20% deposit payment is non-refundable but may be eligible to transfer to a new booking at the same property. (Some restrictions apply)

Doubleknot convenience fees are non-transferrable and non-refundable, as signed off upon through the booking process. The 3% and $2 convenience fee will be applied per item added to the cart at checkout.

Request to cancel a reservation with 4 weeks’ (28 days) or more in advance of the arrival date.

 

Request to transfer a reservation to a different date must be submitted within the 4 weeks' (28 days or more) advance time, in writing, to be approved.

If the balance has been paid in full, 80% of the total payment remitted for the reservation will be refunded, and the 20% non-refundable deposit may be applied to a new reservation at the same property initially booked, using a coupon code of equal value to the 20% deposit payment.

The new reservation must be completed (arrival-departure dates) within 1 calendar year of when the original reservation was created (Eg; a reservation created online January 15, 2024 for a weekend camp arrival date of June 21, 2024, provided the cancellation request meets all criterion, a 20% coupon code will be issued which can be applied to a new reservation at the same property initially booked, with an arrival date no later than January 15, 2025. This is 1 calendar year from the original creation date of the reservation).

The 20% deposit cannot be transferred to a pre-existing booking.

Doubleknot convenience fees are non-transferrable and non-refundable, as signed off upon through the booking process

Request to cancel a reservation with less than 4 weeks’ (27 days or less) from arrival date, but more than 2 weeks' (14 days) notice — must be requested in writing.

All Bookings

Balance[s] owing will be processed automatically to the credit card on file 28 days in advance of reservation arrival date.
