Travel

Every Girl Scout deserves the opportunity to broaden their horizons, whether it’s a journey across town or across continents.

Girl Scout Travel not only offers thrilling adventures but also impacts fundamental life skills in the most enjoyable way possible. Every experience shapes and molds our future leaders.

Travel Overview

Girl Scouts have three avenues for travel: GSEOK Travel, which encompasses council-sponsored trips; Troop Trips, organized by individual troops; and GSUSA Destinations, offering curated experiences by Girl Scouts of the USA. Whichever path they choose, Girl Scouts embark on transformative journeys that leave a lasting impact.

Council-sponsored Travel

Council-sponsored travel prioritizes girls’ leadership and empowerment, placing them directly in the driver’s seat of their journey. It’s not merely a vacation but a hands-on project where travelers actively engage in every aspect, from research and planning to money-earning and teamwork.

Service Projects vs. Take Action Projects

Community Service Projects are acts of kindness and important ways to help something or someone right now. They are commonly short-term projects that almost always multiply efforts that are already in place. Examples include collecting food for an existing food pantry, providing clothing or toiletries to people who have suffered during a disaster, cleaning up a rundown playground, or picking up trash at a park, forest, or a beach.

Girl Scout Take Action projects address an issue by tackling the factors that cause or contribute to it. As you may expect, these projects have a far-reaching influence. They’re designed to change something for the better— forever. Projects associated with Journeys and the highest awards (the Girl Scout Bronze, Silver, and Gold Award) are Take Action projects.

When you take action, you work to:

1. Identify a problem

2. Research the root cause of the problem

3. Come up with a sustainable solution

4. Develop a plan

5. Put the plan into action

6. Reflect on what worked, what didn’t, and what you’ve learned

Here are three ways to create sustainable change:

1. Make your solution permanent

2. Educate and inspire others to be part of the change

3. Change a rule, regulation, or law

Tagalongs

A “tagalong” is any child or adult other than the specific age-level being served at the event. Unless otherwise noted in event descriptions, tagalongs are not allowed at events due to liability issues and limited space. Leaders must check with program staff or the program partner to see if it is okay to bring tagalongs and inform their troop parents of this regulation.

What is a Troop Event?

The troop registers and attends as a group. All troop adults must be Girl Scout members with current background checks. A troop leader must have completed Beyond the Meeting training and the troop must have a currently certified First Aid/CPR trained adult. The troop provides transportation, collects permission slips, and maintains the adult-to-girl ratio. At times, the troop may only be able to bring the required number of adults for ratio found on Page 9.

What is an Individual Event?

Individual girl members can register and participate on their own. The event is facilitated by fully trained council staff and select volunteers who are Girl Scout members with current background checks. Caregivers provide transportation. Council staff will provide and collect permission documents from the caregiver. Caregivers are not expected to attend the event; however, a request for adult volunteers may occasionally go out to participants in order to meet the adult-to-girl ratio.

Event Ettiquette

All adults and girls are expected to follow all components of the Girl Scout Law. Please adhere to the Safety Activity Checkpoints to ensure safety of Girl Scouts, families, leaders, and staff. It’s important to have directions to the event venue and plan on arriving with enough time to walk to check-in before the start time. Please be sure to check the weather and dress appropriately for the type of events you are attending. Let girls take the lead! While adults should be nearby to supervise, allow girls to do activities with minimal adult intervention. Sometimes event leaders need extra help to manage activities. If you have extra adults or self-sufficient girls, consider asking how you can help. Be sure to thank your event leaders for sharing their time and skills with you.
