Introduction:
liz workman, ceo Each year, I just can’t wait to get my first peek at our latest activity guide and for the new adventures to begin all across Kansas Heartland! This 2014-2015 Activity Guide is filled with hundreds of exciting and fun program offerings provided by community program partners and service units throughout the council. Our program philosophy is to deliver engaging, relevant activities that also provide an important leadership experience – fun with a purpose. Programs are designed so that girls discover, connect and take action as they participate in each activity. This year, we are providing more leadership possibilities than ever before for girls participating in Kansas Girl Scouts. As you explore the guide, I know you’ll find many new and fun offerings to match the interests of your Girl Scout! She’ll also find opportunities to widen her horizons, discover new interests and strengths and make new friendships that will last a lifetime. The true value of the Girl Scout Leadership Experiences we provide will be apparent when your Girl Scout projects more courage, confidence and character. Don’t forget to look for updates to the GPS on our website at kansasgirlscouts. org, as well as in our quarterly “Shout-Out” newsletter. Our website and newsletters will provide you with all the latest updates, new resources and additional learning opportunities throughout the year. And be sure to keep a look out for some exciting new digital enhancements available to girls as part of both our Fall Opportunity Sale and Cookie Sale programs. A girl can do anything, and we are delighted to provide Kansas Girl Scouts with a ton of options to choose from to begin their next adventure, and then the next, and then the next. I just can’t wait for the new adventures to begin and for our girls to do amazing things!
our mission
Girl Scouting builds girls of courage, confidence, and character, who make the world a better place.
our vision
Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland is committed to creating the Girl Scout Leadership Experience through dynamic, relevant, and fun-filled opportunities.
the girl scout promise On my honor, I will try: To serve God and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law.
the girl scout law
I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout.

Become a
Volunteer As a volunteer, you’ll introduce girls to new experiences that show them they’re capable of more than they ever imagined. You'll be their cheerleader, guide and mentor. You'll help them develop skills and confidence that will last long after the meeting is over. Imagine the smiles, the excitement, the memories made--those are the moments you'll share at Girl Scouts. Be the role model she'll always remember. Volunteer today!
Get Started Step 1: Complete a Volunteer Application. Step 2: Participate in a short, informal placement interview. Step 3: Submit an Adult Membership Registration form with your $15 membership dues payment. Step 4: Begin learning more about Girl Scouts while your application is processed and your background check is completed. Step 5: Receive your volunteer appointment and start making a difference! Think volunteering isn’t for you? Think again. Many volunteers work directly with girls, but we also have positions for those who prefer to stay behind-the-scenes! We have short and long-term opportunities to pitch in, whatever your area of interest. We’re sure to have something that meets your skills, interests and availability.
