Applications are open for 2025 and 2026 Girl Scout Destinations, the ultimate adventure program for girls ages 11 and older.
With more than 20 trips to choose from, local and international, there’s something amazing for every Girl Scout Cadette, Senior and Ambassador to experience from surfing camp on the east coast and breathtaking hikes out west, to the wonder of new cultures abroad.
“Choosing to go to the Grand Teton National Park was one of the greatest decisions of my life,” said Cate of Girl Scout Troop 2983. “It helped open my eyes and realize that there is so much more to this world outside of my small town in North Carolina.”
Girl Scout Destinations encourage girls to push past their comfort zone and create unforgettable experiences as they make friends from all over the country, try and learn new things and discover their passions.
2025 and 2026 trips include Pacific Exploration in STEM in Hawaii, Adventure and Forestry at the Yellowstone National Park, Broadway Bound in NYC, Glaciers and Geysers in Iceland and so many more.
Financial assistance is available for Girl Scout Destinations through the Girl Scouts Carolinas Peaks to Piedmont (GSCP2P) council. Participating in the Girl Scout Cookie Program earns Cookie Dough which can be applied towards many Girl Scout adventures, including Destinations. The GSCP2P D-Pass Grant also supports local Girl Scouts’ travel adventures. The average scholarship for GSCP2P travelers in 2024 was $500.
Girls who are interested in travel and exploration should register for the Virtual Destinations Showcase on February 9 from 3 – 4:30 p.m. Hear from Girl Scouts who have participated in Destinations trips, learn about the travel opportunities available for Girl Scouts and get inside tips on how to fund travels.

We’re Girl Scouts of the USA
We Are Girl Scouts: Girl Scouts bring their dreams to life and work together to build a better world. Through programs from coast to coast, Girl Scouts of all backgrounds and abilities can be unapologetically themselves as they discover their strengths and rise to meet new challenges—whether they want to climb to the top of a tree or the top of their class, lace up their boots for a hike or advocate for climate justice or make their first best friends. Backed by trusted adult volunteers, mentors and millions of alums, Girl Scouts lead the way as they find their voices and make changes that affect the issues most important to them.
