Council-Sponsored Travel Updates: March 2023
Travel experiences are part of what makes Girl Scouting unique among youth-serving organizations. Girls have the opportunity to travel within their troops and service units, through council-sponsored trips and through individual travel in the Destinations program.
To keep the focus on enhancing leadership outcomes, GSofSI is planning to alter the way we look at council-sponsored trips. Some trips, such as the trip to Holiday World and Lincoln’s Boyhood home in the summer of 2024, will remain as a troop or “my Girl Scout and Me” experience. Other trips, such as the Space Camp trip in the fall of 2023, will be for girls only.
Some trips may have a limited number of volunteer positions that need to be filled. We've launched the new Travel Advisor for Council-Sponsored Travel position to fulfill this need. Adults will be able to apply to be considered for these positions for each respective trip. The number of spots will vary depending on the number of girls registered and the nature of the trip. These trips will not have any adult spots listed on the gsEvents calendar listing; however, if Travel Advisor positions are available for a trip, it will be mentioned in the trip description.
