What is a Mosaic program?
Mosaic programs are planned and facilitated by GSCNC volunteers and
staff, or provided by vendors working with GSCNC staff.
You can register for GSCNC programs at http://register.gscnc.
org/program using the same login you use to register online for
trainings.
These programs are generally first come, first served until the program has been filled.
A few programs are designated as Random Selection programs. These generally have a limited capacity
and high demand. All applications received by the Random Selection
deadline are given equal consideration. After the deadline, troops or
individuals are selected randomly for participation and notified via
email of placement status and payment due dates.
Who may participate in a Mosaic program?
Many Mosaic programs have limited capacity and are open only to girls
at the age level specified and the adults required by SafeteWise. Troop
leaders are on their honor to adhere to these limits to ensure maximum
girl participation. Some programs allow only girls to participate in
the actual activities. Troops seeking activities as family events are
encouraged to make separate arrangements with the vendor or register
for one of the family events offered by GSCNC throughout the year.
How to choose a Mosaic program?
GSCNC
recognizes the challenges of making plans with troops, often months
in advance. Some troops find it hard to get a commitment from families
or do not tell girls about a program until they are sure they have been
accepted to avoid disappointing girls. Leaders can address these issues
to avoid losing reservation fees by following the following suggestions:
- Discussing
program with girls and parents prior to registering
- Help
girls and parents understand the importance of commitment
- Register
only those girls who have made a commitment to attend
- Find
a replacement at the appropriate level if needed
Payment and Reservation Fee:
When
you register for a program, payment of a Program Reservation fee may
be required:
- Fee
will be applied only to selected programs that involve upfront payments
to vendors or where program requires a minimum number of participants
- Amount
of the fee will vary based on the program cost- it generally will
be about 25% of the total cost.
- The
fee does not increase the total cost of a program.
- The
fee is applied for each individual registered.
- The
fee is due within seven business days of registration or placement
for random selection programs.
- The
fee is non-refundable unless GSCNC or the vendor cancels the program.
- If
an individual or troop cancels, reservation fee cannot be applied
to other amounts due for the troop.
Payment of Reservation or Program fees can be made with a credit card,
check, or money order payable to "GSCNC," or Request for Program
Grant or Troop Loan. Program fees are due four weeks before the program
date. If payment is not made, the registration will expire and the troop
will lose their seats in the program.
Refund Policy
Where required, the reservation fee is non-refundable and may not be
applied to other payments due. No refunds of program fees are given
less than four weeks from the event date.
Wait
Lists
Wait lists will be maintained for selected programs. If a troop is
notified of waitlist placement, they will be required to periodically
indicate their desire to remain on the waitlist. This ensures that those
remaining on the waitlist are still interested if spaces open up. You
will not be notified if spaces become available. You must request to
be moved from the waitlist if spaces are available, because this does
not occur automatically.
Inclement Weather
To check whether your program is still on for the day, contact the
Program Hotline at 202-237-1670 ext. 592. Please listen to the ENTIRE
recording before hanging up. GSCNC will try to contact leaders if a
program has been canceled, however, the decision to cancel an event
might occur at the last minute, so please call ext. 592 before heading
out.
