Girl Scout Destinations!!

 Have you ever dreamt of hiking through a rain forest or up a mountain? Have you ever longed to see the beautiful castles of Germany or the jungles of Mexico? Have you ever wanted to travel the world? Well, here's your chance!

The National Association of Girl Scouts has a great program called gsdestinations that allow Girl Scouts to travel the world, learn new skills, experience different cultures, volunteer and complete service hours.

For more information, go to: http://www.girlscouts.org/forgirls/travel/destinations/event_list.asp?catid=0

The destinations go to all sorts of places-from California to the Galapagos to India to Peru.
Meals, accommodations, activities and supervision are all covered by the fee. These opportunities are available ONLY to Girl Scouts.

Most girls who quit Girl Scouts in elementary or middle school are not aware of all of the wonderful opportunities available to them. It is important that girls know all of the great things that Girl Scouts have to offer.

Although some of the destinations can be a bit pricey and airfare is not included, these are all great opportunities for Scouts. There are ways Girl Scouts can raise money to go on a trip on the National GSA website.

Here is the list of destinations available this year (from the GSA website):
