3. 2007Activity Guide:
Happenings in the Heartland
Girl Scouts make it happen! Girl Scouts have heart! Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland are gearing up for a new year with
extended boundaries and added opportunities.
Girl Scouts in Kansas who are looking for a particular kind of adventure, a weekend trip or an opportunity to work on
a Girl Scout award have excellent chances at fulfilling their dreams now that they have even more places to go, things to
do and people to meet. The Activity Guide for the NEW Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland encompasses programs and
activities offered in six regions (formerly known as councils) in 2007 and 2008 within our expanded jurisdiction.
Our new regions that cover 80 Kansas counties are: Central Kansas (Salina), Flint Hills (Emporia), Golden Plains
(Wichita), Sunflower (Hays), Tumbleweed (Garden City) and Wheatbelt (Hutchinson). We are also pleased to include
programs offered by the Girl Scouts of Bluestem Council in Oklahoma, whose Kansas counties will be joining us in 2008.
When you browse through the activity guide’s pages, please remember:
• Girl Scouts who find a program or activity they wish to participate in must register with the region that is
offering that particular program or activity. Reservation information is listed at the beginning of each
region’s section.
• Troops and individual Girl Scouts now have the opportunity to travel freely within our new jurisdiction.
that means no more out-of-council trip forms to fill out!
• There is a Council Event Reservation Form in the back of the guide that can be used for all regions. It is
suggested that copies be made so there is always a blank form available. Girl Scouts of Bluestem Council
has its own reservation form that can be found within its section.
• This activity guide is also available online at www.girlscoutskansasheartland.org.
So, what are you waiting for? Flip through the pages and start making your plans to take full advantage of the
Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland’s extended map of opportunities. Girls and adults alike will make new friends to
last a lifetime, find out more about our state and expand their horizons while enjoying the hospitality of our sister
Girl Scouts both near and far!
Welcome to the Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland!

“Safety–Wise”
“Safety-Wise” is a Girl Scouts of the USA publication containing health and safety guidelines for Girl Scout events and
activities. The guidelines help ensure a safe and sound program experience that will protect and maintain the well-being
of every Girl Scout. All Girl Scout events and activities should stay within the “Safety-Wise” standards and guidelines.
Event Cancellations
It is very rare for an event to be cancelled. The weather that affects one area may not affect the location where the event is
being held. If an event is cancelled because of the weather or some other unforeseen circumstance, listen to the radio for
announcements.
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 Council Shop-Wichita. After that time unclaimed items will be donated
to a worthy cause.
Refunds
Refunds are only issued for total amounts of $5 or more. Refunds will be issued to the troop/group treasury. A FULL
REFUND is given when the Girl Scout Center-Wichita is notified of a cancellation:
1) Due to a serious illness or a death in the family; or
2) before the end of the reservation period.
A refund may also be issued if the Girl Scout Center-Wichita is notified of a cancellation a week in advance
of the event AND the space can be filled from a waiting list. (Troops or groups may replace their own girls with
other members of the same troop or group who are eligible to attend the event and are not yet signed up. If
the names of participants change, it will be necessary to notify the Girl Scout Center-Wichita to update the
