Every girl deserves a chance to see the world! Whether you’re exploring your own neighborhood, going on overnight camping trip, or flying across the world—you’re always expanding your horizon with Girl Scouts. Travel with Girl Scouts from our council and across the United States. There’s an entire world out there waiting to be explored by you.
Travel fun can be endless when girls lead. Travel Progression allows Girl Scouts to learn the skills they need to become competent travelers, including how to plan trips, while simultaneously developing their leadership skills.
Things to know before you start planning.
Please fill out the Girl Scouts of Colorado Activity & Event Approval form for prior approval before planning any overnight trip and follow guidance in Safety Activity Checkpoints. Be sure to check the cancellation and refund policies for any travel and overnight stays as Girl Scouts of Colorado will not provide financial assistance related to trip cancellations and reimbursements.
Volunteers are required to complete gsLearn Travel Training. Access travel training modules in your myGS Account - gsLearn. Search under Content Library and Learning Paths.
Be sure to collect both the Annual Caregiver Permission Form and Caregiver Permission Form for Girl Scout Activities. Caregiver Permission Form for Girl Scout Activities must be completed and submitted by caregivers to troop leaders for every activity outside of the typical troop meeting space/location and time.
