Guide to Fall Program 2008
Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland 2008 Fall and Winter Road Map is the place to plan a journey for yourself
or your troop. Inside you will find opportunities for every Girl Scout age level from across our council.
Programs are designed specifically with you in mind. You will be able to Discover yourself, Connect with
others and Take Action in the community by participating in Girl Led, Learn by Doing and Cooperative
Learning experiences.

As you browse through this guide, please remember:
• You may register for any event online. A reservation form is also available; reservation forms must be
sent to the Girl Scout Center where the event is taking place.

• You do not need to fill out a Troop Trip Application form when registering for a council-sponsored
event within Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland.

• The Council Event Reservation Form is in the back of the guide. Please make copies so there is always
a blank form available.

• This guide and the Council Event Reservation Form are available at www.kansasgirlscouts.org.

How to Make a Reservation
Carefully read the instructions on how to make a reservation for a program. Then register online or use a
Council Event Reservation Form and follow the instructions at the top of the form according to whether
you are registering as a troop/group or individual. Please be sure make your reservation before the
reservation deadline. There will be a $5 late fee on all programs unless otherwise noted.

Reservations are on a first-come, first-served basis unless otherwise stated. If a session is full, you have the
option of being placed on a waiting list.

Note: Due to limited space and the nature of these activities, tagalongs cannot be accommodated, unless noted
otherwise.

There are three ways to make a reservation for a program:
Online at www.kansasgirlscouts.org
• This is the fastest and easiest way to make a reservation for an event.
• Each family and the troop/group have a reservation account. This account can be used for training or
event reservations. New accounts will be created as members of the troop/group register for
Girl Scouts. Passwords will be e-mailed to the e-mail address on file (parents of individual girls or
leader for troop accounts) or can be requested by calling one of the Girl Scout Centers
(Girl Scout Center information listed in the front of the Road Map).
• Full payment for the reservation is required and can be made by e-check, Visa or MasterCard.
By Mail
• Complete the Council Event Reservation Form in the back of the Road Map and mail or bring it to
the Girl Scout Center where the event is taking place (noted next to the program contact).
• Payment may be made by check. Please do not mail cash.
By Phone
• Call one of the Girl Scout Center locations to make a reservation. E-check, Visa or MasterCard required
for phone reservations.

Payment Options
Checks or e-checks
• You can mail a troop or individual check with your reservation form or go online to log on to your
family or troop/group reservation account and pay by e-check. All checks will be processed as e-check
transactions that withdraw directly from your checking account. Make checks payable to Girl Scouts
of Kansas Heartland (GSKH). By entering this information online or providing a check as payment,
you authorize Girl Scout of Kansas Heartland to process a one-time electronic funds transfer (EFT) or
draft drawn on your account. If your check does not clear your bank, it will be charged back against
your family or troop/group account along with a $30 service charge along with any additional bank
charges. Your reservation(s) will not be complete until this total amount is paid. Call (316) 684-6531
with any questions regarding electronic funds transfers.

Credit Card or Debit Card
• Go online to log on to your family or troop/group reservation account and use a credit card (for family
accounts only) or debit card to make a payment. Credit cards are not approved for troop use.
• You may also pay by credit card or debit card in person or by phone.
Cash
• You may pay by cash if bringing your form directly to a Girl Scout Center.
• Do not mail cash.

Cookie Credits
• Cookie Credits may be used for council events taking place before November 15, 2008. Cookie credits
expire November 15, 2008.

General Information about Program Reservations
Participants
Troop reservations require that troop adults be in attendance. Individual girls who register for events are
not required to be accompanied by an adult, they will be placed with another troop or other individual
Girl Scouts accompanied by a staff member.

Most programs can not accommodate walk-ins; therefore walk-ins will be allowed only at select events
which are noted.

Girls who are not currently members can register as Girl Scouts and attend all events listed in the Girl
Scouts of Kansas Heartland Road Map.

A girl is registered when her GSUSA registration form and $10 have been received at the Girl Scout Center.
Troop/group leaders must also be registered members of GSUSA and have on file a volunteer application,
references and criminal background check.

Event Reservation Dates
All program event reservations begin August 22, 2008. Check each event for reservation deadline. Some
events fill quickly therefore they may be closed before the reservation deadline and the participant will be
placed on a waiting list. Go online to check for event openings or call the Girl Scout Center. When events
are filled to capacity, registration automatically closes.

Late Fee
There is a $5 late fee on all programs unless noted otherwise.

Capacity of Events
Capacity may be determined by any or all of the following: age level of participants, space, facilities,
consultants or program resources. If an event is full, or it there is a problem with your reservation, you
will be contacted.

Event Cancellations
Event cancellations may happen due to lack of reservations or weather. In the case of lack of reservations,
participants will be notified. The weather that affects your area may not affect the location where the event
is taking place. If an event is cancelled because of weather or some other unforeseen circumstance, the
council will notify radio and television stations of the cancellations.

Tagalongs
Due to limited space and the nature of these activities, tagalongs cannot be accommodated, unless
noted otherwise. Tagalongs are defined as individuals of any age who are not registered Girl Scouts or
a registered Girl Scout attending an event specified for an age level that is different from her age level.

Confirmation Notices
Event confirmation notices are not sent unless noted otherwise. Check availability by going online or calling
the Girl Scout Center. Those who register by mail will be notified only if girls/troops did not get placed.

Participants with Special Needs
When registering, please indicate if there will be girls or adults attending who have special needs. Advance
notice will help staff and volunteers who are planning the event to make any necessary arrangements to
accommodate those special needs.

–3–

Financial Assistance
Assistance is available for girls who may not otherwise be able to participate in Girl Scout events.
Assistance may be requested for troop/group dues, uniforms, books and council programs. Application
forms for financial assistance are available online at www.kansasgirlscouts.org or in the Girl Scout Centers.
Financial Aid requests must be submitted four weeks prior to the event and approved before making a
reservation.

“Safety-Wise”
“Safety-Wise” is a Girl Scouts of the USA publication containing health and safety guidelines for Girl
Scout programs. Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland abides by these guidelines to help ensure a safe program
experience that will protect and maintain the well-being of every Girl Scout.

Lost and Found Items
Every effort will be made to return any items lost and found at council events to the original owner. Lost
and found items from an event will be held for pickup for three weeks in the Girl Scout Center. After that
time unclaimed items will be donated to a worthy cause.
