Payment 2 is due Thursday, April 25

Submitting Payment 2

Option 1: The preferred method for submitting Payment 2 is via the online merit badge registration tool – Summer Camp Systems – with a credit card.
- Directions for submitting payments via Summer Camp Systems.
- NOTE: Now that Scouts are enrolled in merit badges, you will select CALCUTE BALANCE and MAKE A PAYMENT from the Payment Dashboard

Option 2: You may submit a unit check made payable to Old North State Council, 1405 Westover Terrace, Greensboro, NC 27408
Option 3: You may submit cash, check, or credit at the counter at the Old North State Council Office
Regardless of how you submit your payment, please allocate your funds to Scouts in Summer Camp Systems.
There are two tools to help you collect funds from families.
The Unit Balance Report shows you how much each Scout has paid.
The Transaction History show you the transactions for individual Scouts.
- This report shows funds submitted by you and parents, credits (early birds and camperships) applied by camp, and refunds applied by camp.
- You can use this report as a bill for families to show how much is still owed.

Unallocated Funds

We have credited your campsite deposits to your account in Summer Camp Systems.
Typically, this will be $50, $100, or $150 depending upon the number of campsites you reserved.
You can allocate these funds towards a Scout’s fees during the Payment 2 or Payment 3 process.
The goal is to use the funds in the payment process and eliminate the need for refund checks.
This video shows you how to allocate the unallocated fund towards a Scout’s fees.

Reminder: Payment 3 and Late Fee

Payment 3 and full payment of fees are due on Thursday, May 23.
On May 24, a $10 late fee will be added to any Scout’s account that is not paid in full.

Campership Deadline

Assist your families in submitting a complete campership application.
