2009 Fall Road MapIt’s your Council, Explore it!

When it comes time to plan an adventure for the Girl Scouts in your life, the opportunities are as big and wide as the Kansas sky. As a member of Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland council, you have access to events and programs across 80 counties coordinated through seven regional offices. We know you’ll find many interesting and exciting options in the Fall Roadmap – giving you countless ways to Discover, Connect and Take Action!

As you browse through this guide, please remember:● You may register for any event or learning opportunity online.

● 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.

● This guide and the Council Reservation Form are available at kansasgirlscouts.org.

FAQ'sHow to Make a ReservationCarefully read the instructions on how to make a reservation.

There will be a $5 late fee on all programs unless otherwise noted.

Event Reservation Deadlines:All program event reservations begin August 17, 2009. Check each event for reservation deadline. Reservations must be received by midnight the date of the reservation deadline*. Some events fill quickly therefore they may be closed before the reservation deadline.

When events are filled to capacity, registration automatically closes.

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

Course Descriptions and OfferingsOrientationOrientation is a great way to acquaint new volunteers with Girl Scouting and the many rewarding opportunities it offers girls and adults. This course takes you through the Girl Scout mission, pathway options, support, resources and the three leadership keys of the Girl Scout program. Take the virtual online course from home, your local library, regional office or contact the volunteer services manager in your region for other options.

Leadership EssentialsLeadership Essentials is just what the name implies, the essential ingredients for facilitating the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Direct service volunteers will learn how to guide groups in one or more pathways using the new Girl Scout Journeys, volunteer guides and existing grade-level resources. They will also learn how to apply the three leadership keys–Discover, Connect and Take Action–to all Girl Scout activities. This course is offered every month in all regions of the council, check the course schedules for a time and location convenient for you.

Introduction to Troop ManagementIntroduction to Troop Management offers new troop leaders the information they need to begin meeting with their troop. It includes information on the parent meeting, setting up a troop checking account, using Leader-Wise, Safety-Wise and council forms. Introduction to Troop Management sessions are arranged and scheduled with all new leaders by a council staff member or service unit volunteer. In some regions they are offered in combination with the Leadership Essentials course.

Direct service volunteers (at least one in each troop or group) need to complete the Orientation, Leadership Essentials and the Introduction to Troop Management session within the first three months of accepting their volunteer position.

2012 Savannah, GA or Washington D.C. Girls will choose at the 2010 Older Girl Spring Congress meeting whether they travel to historic Savannah, Georgia to see the birthplace of our Girl Scout founder, Juliette Gordon Low or to Washington, D.C. to visit national monuments and museums. Girls who enjoy history will not want to miss out on this opportunity.

London, England Girls will travel to London, England in the summer of 2012. They will have the opportunity to visit or possibly stay at Pax Lodge. Girls may venture out to visit the Tower of London or Windsor Castle, see the changing of the guards and more, the girls will plan and choose their adventure together. Girls and adults must have prior national travel experience.
