What if the number of Guiders attending goes down between my registration date and the day of the event?

On the day of the event, you will be charged the remaining balance for the final number of girls who attended the event. For example, if you registered for and paid a deposit for fifteen Guiders and only ten participated in the sleepover, you will only be charged for ten girls.

If the number of Guiders attending increases dramatically, please inform us via email so that we can accurately prepare.
