Explore Your World, Girl Scout!
GSCSNJ's Travel Program equips Girl Scouts to change the world by giving them the opportunity to experience it! Our Travel Program offers a robust experience that follows the Girl Scout Travel Progression and offers a wealth of opportunities for girls to develop skills in leadership and confidence. It's designed to ensure our members get the most out of their Girl Scout years, while following our safety protocols. Travel opportunities are available for every level, budget and area of interest.
Travel Progression is as follows:
- Overnight Trips: A trip of one—or possibly two—nights away. These short trips are just long enough to get girls excited about travel, but not long enough to generate homesickness
- Regional Trips: Juniors and older at time of travel. (Juniors must travel with a troop leader or adult.) Three- or four-nights within the girls’ home region taking girls up to a few hours away from home.
- National Trips: Juniors and older at time of travel. (Juniors must travel with a troop leader or adult.) Travel anywhere in the country and can last up to a week or more.
- International Trips: Rising 9th graders and older at time of travel. Travel around the world can require one to three years of preparation. International trips are available to Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors, but only to those who have successfully participated in a progression of overnight and extended trips within Girl Scouting.
Travel Rally
For those looking to connect with others interested in travel, we have a special, online Travel Rally just for you. This is the place to share photos from trips, ask for recommendations, and build a community of fellow Girl Scouts with wandering feet. You can find the Rally and request to join here.
Girl Scout Destinations and Troop Getaways:
GSUSA’s Destinations opportunities are the ultimate adventure for individual girls ages 11 and older. With different trips every year, there is something amazing for everyone. Pack your bags full of life-changing experiences and make friends from all over the country as you travel with Girl Scouts from different states. If you have questions about Destinations and want to learn more about subsidized tranportation grants, please contact xxxxx.
GSUSA’s Getaways are ready-made experiences. Check out these curated events hosted by Girl Scout councils and partners. Your troop can just register and go! (Be sure to let your home Girl Scout council know you are traveling.)
