See the world with Girl Scouts

From field trips in elementary school to global adventures as teens, Girl Scouts are traveling near and far.

If your troop is planning a trip, make sure you are ready to go:

Take Troop Travel and Overnight Training
Turn in your Trip Approval
Apply to raise any needed funds

The Troop Travel Resource Guide can be helpful for leaders planning a trip for the first time. Girls will want to work through the Girl Travel Planner as they plan their own travel experience as well.

Did you know you can bank program credit earned in the Fall Product and Cookie Programs? Learn more about saving troop funds for travel.

Want to take a trip with your troop or family?

Girl Scout travel is a lifelong journey that builds skills, memories, and friendships.

Every Girl Scout, beginning with Daisies or Brownies, can take the first step on this journey with a group field trip followed by an overnight or weekend trip. Learn travel basics as you plan, budget, and pack.

Girl Scout Juniors and above can take three- or four-night regional trips. And once you’re a Cadette, the world is truly your oyster! Using Girl Scout planning tools, you can make your dream trip a reality, whether it’s exploring the California coast, discovering the Swiss Alps, or visiting any of the WAGGGS World Centers around the globe.

Whether you’re traveling with your family, your troop, or on your own with a group, you’ve got Girl Scout resources and ideas to help every step of the way.

Let’s get going!
