Belize: Wildlife Adventure

8 Days – July 2023: girltrips.eftours.com/2541588fr

A tropical paradise with miles of shimmering blue Caribbean coastline and lush jungle canopies, Belize is bursting with diverse wildlife and a sense of adventure. See native jungle animals up close on multiple nature hikes, whiz through the treetops on a zip-line, and snorkel in the crystal clear waters of the Caribbean. Ancient ruins, cave tubing, and a riverboat cruise ensure this will be an adventure your girls will never forget.

Japan: Land of the Rising Sun

11 Days – July 2023: girltrips.eftours.com/2542727cr Japan travel at its best: Treat your girl group to the treasures of Japan past and present, from the bustling streets of Tokyo to the ancient temples of Kyoto. A Japan tour isn't complete unless you stroll through sacred shrines, selfie with the Great Buddha in Kamakura, and catch a glimpse of majestic Mount Fuji. Your trip to Japan can educate girls in the world of STEM in Akihabara. Feast on an authentic tempura dinner, and enjoy a special overnight stay at a traditional Japanese ryokan, which is an amazing cultural and learning experience for every girl.

Journey to Panama

8 Days – August 2023: girltrips.eftours.com/2485059ae

But there is so much more to this isthmus nation, as they will discover in their Panama travels. They will explore bustling Panama City and meet with artists near Panama’s only soapstone mine. Then they will observe the exotic wildlife as they come face to face with the variety of birds and animals at Rio Chagres and Metropolitan national parks. Girls will hike, dance, snorkel, and laugh on this amazing tour of Panama. London to Lucerne

15 Days – August 2023: girltrips.eftours.com/2548804db

Three European cities. Two WAGGGS World Centres. One amazing tour. Girl Scouts travel has never been so fun!
