About the Trip
Girl Scouts will begin their exploration at the Argyros Girl Scout
Leadership Center (GSLC) in Newport Beach, California. As Orange
County’s hub for Girl Scout STEM programs, the GSLC provides Girl
Scouts from all backgrounds with opportunities to practice leadership
the Girl Scout way, as they explore 21st-century careers and learn how
they can make the world a better place. Girl Scouts also have
opportunities to create lifelong memories—kayaking from the bay-front
property, toasting s’mores on the sprawling patio, and participating
in fun beach activities on Balboa Peninsula.
During a
four-night stay at Disneyland Resort, Girl Scouts will get an
immersive peek behind the curtains at Disney Entertainment, with
exclusive hands-on activities, workshops, behind-the-scenes tours, and
info sessions led by working industry professionals in three areas:
immersive storytelling, technology of Disney parks, and soundtrack
sessions. Girl Scouts will learn how Disney Imagineers create
immersive environments to tell stories, get a look inside innovative
technologies – from audio-animatronics to light and sound effects, and
lay down vocal music tracks.
Girl Scouts will reflect
on all they learned while relaxing at Camp Joe Scherman, a 700-acre
camping and recreation facility owned and operated by Girl Scouts of
Orange County, located in the southern San Jacinto Mountains. The
property features a pool, two ponds, a ropes course, hiking trails,
and Girl Scout traditions. The Destination will end on a high note
with a night at the world-renown Pageant of the Masters and Festival
of Arts in Laguna Beach, California!
New friendships, forever memories, and inspiring dreams for the
future will be the best parts of this Destination!
All
events meet curriculum standards for STEAM, Career Pathways, and the
entertainment creative process. These workshops also align with
National Core Arts and Common Core Standards.
