Girl Scout destinations
 |
A "destination" is any experience, regardless of distance or length of time that provides girls 11-17 with an opportunity to expand her personal experience beyond her everyday scope. In other words traveling, adventures, exploring!! Experience the whimsical hoodoos of Bryce Canyon National Park or about striking urban symbols like the Statue of Liberty. Marvel at Alaskan huskies on a dog sledding expedition or laugh at the moon reflecting off the very first snow you've ever seen. Just think of the wonderful friends
you'll make and all because you're a Girl Scout. Girl Scout destinations, which are sponsored by local Girl Scout councils, Girl Guide associations from other countries, and Girl Scouts of the USA, are our way of giving girls 11-17 a chance to be part of the international community of girls. You'll gather together to have fun, build memories, and test your skills and talents. Events are open to any registered Girl Scout who is age 11 through 17 or a graduating high school senior. Remember: destinations are incredibly popular, so not every girl will get her first choice and some may not be accepted at all. But girls can always apply again the following year.
