Even though travel might not be at the top of your list right now, dreaming and planning ahead should be! There are multiple fun ways that you can travel as a Girl Scout, including traveling with your troop, going on a Destination, or joining a council-sponsored trip.

Look ahead at our council-sponsored offerings!

These trips are planned for 2021 and 2022, and are subject to change in consideration of COVID-19 precautionary measures. Please review and stay updated with our COVID-19 guidelines.
