Does a non custodial parent still have to pay child support when the custodial parent is in jail?
Yes, unless the non-custodial parent gets custody. In that case the non-custodial parent must file a motion to terminate the child support order. The child support should be paid to whoever has custody of the child. If it's not the non-custodial parent then the child support order should be modified to reflect the party that should receive the child support payments. You have to pay for your child so you have to pay to the one who has custody while the other parent is in prison. If the state has custody you will pay the state.
Can a non custodial parent sign child up for activities ie Girl Scouts?
The non custodial parent can sign the child up for activities that are to be done during vistations as long as the custodial parent is okay with it. If the custodial parent objects it comes down to what type of legal custody arrangement is in place. If legal custody (decision making ability) is shared then each parent has the right to decide on activities for the child during their time. If you have joint legal custody and the girl scouts meetings will occur during a time that your child is normally with you, you can sign them up and take them. If the other parent has sole legal custody and objects to girl scouts for some reason you can't sign them up even if they meet during your visitation time.Most organizations are not picky about who signs the child up for an activity as long as the activity gets paid for and no one objects to the child participating.
