The process for registering for Sunflower Girls State is much different than 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 December a poster will be mailed to the Units and Schools detailing the registration process and providing other pertinent information. If you are not receiving one of these posters 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.
