Then the Travel Pathway may be the right one for you! Learning to plan trips and travel as a group is one of the core experiences in Girl Scouting. In Girl Scouting, travel is about fun, exploration, and progressive experiences in appreciating the outdoors, new places and people, and other cultures. As girls grow older and more experienced in travel, the scope of their travel broadens to include travel across the country or abroad on a girl planned trip with sister Girl Scouts, or as an individual in a council or Girl Scouts of the USA sponsored destination.
