Travel & Trips

Girl Scouts love to travel! From field trips they take as Brownies to global adventures they can go on as they age through our program, girls who love exploring places and cultures can find an amazing experience through Girl Scout travel excursions. During MY2022, our Girl Scouts embarked on international summer adventures from Costa Rica to Greece and Italy!

Destination: Costa Rica

Our staff traveled with a group of five GSNYPENN Girl Scouts and three adults and were placed into a larger travel group with Girl Scouts from Arkansas, Massachusetts, and Texas. Our travelers zip-lined, white water rafted, swam at the bottom of a waterfall, relaxed in hot springs, took painting and dance classes, and toured coffee and chocolate plantations. The experience was a truly magical and once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for everyone!

Destination: Greece & Italy

A group of eight GSNYPENN Girl Scouts and their chaperones embarked on a whirlwind nine-day tour with daily temperatures averaging 95 degrees Fahrenheit! They visited Rome and Florence in Italy and traveled to Athens, Meteora, and Delphi in Greece all while eating delicious foods—fresh pasta and cheeses in Italy, olives and feta in Greece. Italian highlights included The Vatican and St. Peter’s Basilica (where girls had the chance to go underground in the Roman catacombs) and Florence where they viewed Michelangelo’s masterpiece David and the Duomo cathedral. In Greece, it was seeing the “City in the Sky” (a series of monasteries on tall cliffs) in Meteora, the Oracles at Delphi and walking where Aristotle and Socrates once did, and all the beautiful ancient architecture nestled in modern cities. A trip of a lifetime!

Next up: Japan in 2023 & Galapagos in 2024!
