Global/Travel

Girl Scouts love to travel—from the field trips they take as Brownies to the global adventures they go on as teens. You can experience all that our country has to offer, whether you’re “blasting off” at space camp in Alabama, taking in a Broadway show in New York City, or visiting the birthplace of Girl Scouts’ founder, Juliette Gordon Low, in Savannah, Georgia. And you can plan even bigger adventures around the world, traveling with other Girl Scouts who share your love of adventure.

Check out Girl Scout Destinations, the ultimate adventure program for girls ages 11 and older. In Girl Scout Destinations, individual Girl Scouts join trips with other Girl Scouts from troops around the country to experience new places, adventures and cultures. With a ton of different trips to apply for every year - from surfing camp on the east coast and breathtaking hikes out west, to the crazy-cool wonder of new cultures abroad - there’s something amazing for everyone to experience. Apply today!

GSGATL is also hosting a couple of our own Destinations in 2022 – check out Rodeo Girls and Journey to Justice!
