International Travel
Traveling abroad is a great way to learn about other cultures. For more than 50 years, Girl Scouts of the USA has offered girls international travel opportunities. Girl Scouts of the USA founder Juliette Gordon Low, a prolific traveler herself, provided financial assistance so that girls and young women from around the globe could attend world conferences. Her dedication to international understanding and travel inspired the creation of the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund.
International travel gives girls the chance to make new friends, build leadership skills, and share ideas with women and girls globally. Every year Girl Scouts venture to international events through Girl Scout Girl Scout destinations (formerly Wider Opportunities), a travel program for girls ages 14-17. Contact your local Girl Scout council to find out how to apply or volunteer for Girl Scout destinations.
Interested in joining the celebration of 100 years of International Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting? Groups/troops can check out these spectacular events for Girl Guides, Girl Scouts and volunteers happening all over the world. For applications that require the International Commissioners stamp or questions, please email globalgirlscouting@girlscouts.org.
Girls can also apply through Girl Scout destinations to attend the Girl Guiding UK Centenary Camp this summer.
