Registration Information Policies Troops, groups and individual Girl Scouts can sign up for any program provided that they meet the grade level requirement. Girls who are not currently registered Girl Scouts may attend our programs by paying the $12 membership fee in addition to any program costs. A completed Girls Scout registration form should accompany the program registration form in these cases. Girls bridging to the next grade level can participate in programs for their next level to satisfy bridging requirements. Programs fill up quickly, so please register early. Advance registration is required for all programs and events. Money will not be accepted at the door. Be sure to include “Free” adults on your form. Registration will close two weeks before the event date unless otherwise noted. Please register for events responsibly. Capacity is limited for all events, so please be mindful that your reserved space may take an opportunity away from someone else. Only the number of persons accounted for on your registration form-girls and adults-will be allowed to attend a program. Space, staffing and materials are all prepared in advance for the number of people registered. If you bring additional people, they will be asked to wait outside of the event.
General Information Please check Safety Activity Checkpoints (SAC) for the correct girl/adult rations for your grade level. Leaders and parents of Juliette’s are responsible for maintaining the correct girl/adult ratios and meeting other SAC guidelines. Please make sure you have your girls’ health records with you when you attend a program. Adults are to serve as leaders/chaperones, not as participants at events and programs. In the event of inclement weather, a decision to hold or cancel an event will be made at least two hours before the scheduled start time. The troop leader will be notified
by phone if a program is to be cancelled. You may also check the Heartland Facebook page and websites of local television stations for cancellations. All adults chaperoning overnight events must be registered as a Girl Scout member and have a completed volunteer application on file at Heartland Service Center office.
Tagalongs Please plan to make other arrangement for tagalongs. Tagalongs are any child under 18 not the designated age for the event (infants, toddlers, older or younger siblingsincluding Girl Scouts, are all considered tagalongs.) Tagalongs are not permitted at most Girl Scout programs, and adults who bring them will be asked to remain outside the program.
Refund Policy Refunds will be issued if a program is cancelled or in the event of an illness or family emergency only. There are no refunds for “no shows.” In the event of weather related cancellation-troops will be offered the reschedule date before a refund will be issued. If the program/event takes place and you troop decides not to attend-no refund will be issued.
Product Programs Council Sponsored Product Programs The Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana provides two program opportunities for troops and Juliette’s to earn needed funds for activities. Girls who participate in these programs learn important skills to help them face real life challenges. These learned skills are lesson money can’t buy. Through the Girl Scout Product Program, girls learn goal setting, marketing, money management, sales skills, leadership and teamwork; skills they will need to be successful in their future endeavors.
Fall Product Program The Fall Product Program is held during the months of October and November. It is a multi-part program met to involve friends and families only. Step 1 is the Nut & Candy Sale through Ashdon Farms.

Benefits of the Fall Product Program: • • • •
3 ways to earn money(nuts & candy, QSP, address books) Girls can earn patches and other incentives for participating Troop money, or Program Bucks for Juliettes, enables girls to pay for activities, take trips, buy badges, etc. The funds raised from the Fall Product Program are used primarily for our camp properties; to renovate building, purchase equipment, upgrade the properties and improve trail. Most importantly it allows you and your girls to use any of Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana’s seven camp properties at greatly discounted rates.
Cookie Program The Cookie Program is held each year during the months of January-March. Much more than a way to raise money, the Cookie Program is a hands on leadership and entrepreneurial program. Leadership learning is built into the Cookie Program with experiences designed for each grade level of Gil Scouting. Girls learn skills, not from a book, but from real life experience, skills that will last long after the Cookie Program ends. During January, girls can test their sales and leadership skills by selling cookies to family member, friends and neighbors. In late February and early March, girls have eth opportunity to use their entrepreneurial skills to directly sell from cookie booths at local businesses. Benefits of the Cookie Program: •
• • •
From practicing telephone presentation to creating a successful marketing plan, girls learn valuable skills such as goal setting, marketing techniques, financial literacy, problem solving, leadership and self confidence. Troop funds and Program Bucks; give girls opportunities for fun and learning and to change the world through community service. Girls can earn patches and a wide range of incentives as rewards for their hard work. In addition to direct benefits to troops and girls, funds raised through the cooked program enable Girl Scouts of Kentuckiana to provide discounted programs and events for girls and training and development opportunities for volunteers.
