Payments and Refund Policy for the 2024-25 Activity Year
Registration Fees - General
The registration fees include payment for normal activities during the year, personal insurance for the child, and an aniva (necktie). The registration fees do not include a khaki shirt ($25), a white polo shirt ($25), fees for overnight camps, special activities, or seminars.
Please note that the credit card charge will not be for Shevet Gefen but for FOIS - Friends of Israel Scouts.
Please do not cancel charges without talking to the Shevet Treasurer beforehand. Canceling the charge carries a fine from our payment provider, which the family will be asked to pay.
