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 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.

General Information about Program ReservationsParticipantsTroop 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 DatesAll 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 FeeThere is a $5 late fee on all programs unless noted otherwise.

Capacity of EventsCapacity 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 CancellationsEvent 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.

TagalongsDue 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 NoticesEvent 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 NeedsWhen 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.
