​Submitting Payment 2

  • 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.
