The process for registering for Sunflower Girls State is much different the for Kansas Boy's State. There are no applications for girls state as there are with boy's state. Packets of information are not mailed to the delegates or the sponsors and high schools. A mailing list of previous sponsors and Kansas High Schools is kept by the secretary and on or about the first week of February a booklet is mail to each detailing the registration process and highlighting the events of the week. Also, other pertinent information is included in this booklet. If you are not receiving one of these booklets and you are a sponsor or high school counselor, please send an email to the secretary and you will be added to the mailing list.
