Group Travel and Getaways

Want to take a trip with your troop or family?

Girl Scout travel is a lifelong journey that builds skills, memories, and friendships.

Every Girl Scout, beginning with Daisies or Brownies, can take the first step on this journey with a group field trip followed by an overnight and then weekend trip. Learn travel basics as you plan, budget, and pack.

Girl Scout Juniors and above can take national trips. And once you’re a Cadette, the world is truly your oyster! Using Girl Scout planning tools, you can make your dream trip a reality, whether it’s exploring the California coast, discovering the Swiss Alps, or visiting any of the WAGGGS World Centers around the globe.

Whether you’re traveling with your family, your troop, or on your own with a group, you’ve got Girl Scout resources and ideas to help every step of the way.

Let’s get going!
