Travel
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 or weekend trip. Learn travel basics as you plan, budget, and pack.
Girl Scout Juniors and above can take three- or four-night regional 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 head out, Girl Scouts!

International Trips
An international trip is a trip that involves travel to any location outside of the 50 United States, regardless of the total duration of the trip. This includes all trips involving cruises, which must also follow GSSOAZ international trip guidelines.
Because international travel involves additional considerations and requirements, planning should begin as far in advance as possible, ideally at least 1 year in advance.
International trips require prior council approval.
International travel that is hosted by GSSOAZ staff as part of council programming does not require prior council approval or trip approval forms unless otherwise specified.
Ready to get going? Follow the steps below:
- Talk to the Girl Scouts in your troop to begin planning the activity or trip.
- Be sure to consult the Troop Travel Guide, Safety Activity Checkpoints, and Volunteer Essentials to ensure the trip aligns with council policies and procedures.
- Submit an Intent to Plan an Extended or International Trip form no later than 1 year prior to the desired trip start date. This form tells the council about your intention to plan an international trip before plans have been finalized.
- Troops will receive an automated email upon successful submission of their form. Council staff will review your submission. Within two weeks you will receive an email with one of two outcomes:
- Activity/Trip is tentatively approved: The activity/trip is tentatively approved, pending additional information, documents, and/or requirements. The email will describe what additional information is needed for the activity/trip to be approved.
- Activity/Trip is not approved: The email will describe the reason(s) why the activity/trip is not approved.
- Proceed accordingly, based on the activity/trip approval status and guidance from the council.
- Submit an Extended Overnight of International Trip Approval form no later than 6 months prior to the trip start date. Note that additional information will be required closer to the trip – council staff will let you know what is required and when.
- Proceed accordingly, based on the activity/trip approval status and guidance from the council.
- Submit an International Travel – Final Check-In Form 2 months prior to the trip start date.
- Have fun!
