Registration Registration is required by the published deadline for all events, unless indicated otherwise in the event description. Some events are free to attend, but we collect registrations to help get an idea of how many people will be attending the event (especially if we need to order food!) Most registrations close two weeks before the event takes place - we need this time to order supplies, finalize our attendee lists, email confirmations, and ensure the event goes as smooth as possible. Please do not wait until the last minute to register , as events may be canceled if interest is low. If you have registered for an event that gets canceled, we will send you a cancellation email. Registrations for vendor operated programs vary and are outlined in the event descriptions. Complete registration and payment in full will be processed in the order in which it is received. How To Register For Programs Online registration is fast and easy for both individual girls and/or troops. To register for an event, visit www.gshg.org, and click the “Calendar” icon on the top right to locate your event. (Events are listed in chronological order.) Click on the event name which will open the event page. Once you’re there, click on the “Register Now” button to register for the event. Registrations will not be processed until payment is received in full. Payments can be made by Visa or MasterCard, check or Cookie Points. Cookie Points must be presented in person or mailed to the council office for processing. Confirmations will be emailed to the email address provided in the registration.
