Individual Sales can be refunded by Scouts, parents, or Unit Leaders within a limited time after the sale is recorded. Refunds can be completed using the Trail’s End App® or the Trail’s End Portal, depending on who is issuing the refund.

How Unit Leaders Refund an Individual Sale for a Scout

Refund Timing
Refunds can typically be completed within 24 hours of the transaction
Cash transactions where Cash to Credit® has been used cannot be refunded without also refunding the Cash to Credit® transaction.
Can I Refund Only Certain Items in a Sale?
Partial refunds are not supported directly in the system. How you handle this depends on the payment type.
Cash Sales
Refund the entire order
Record a new sale with the correct items and quantities
Credit Card Sales
Refunding the order will return funds to the customer
Re-recording the sale requires the customer’s card information
Alternative option:
If the issue is inventory-related and no refund to the customer is required, the Unit Leader may adjust unit inventory instead. Please see: Understanding and Managing Unit Inventory
