How to Travel with Your Troop
Are your girls interested in traveling as a troop? Travel is an important part of the Girl Scout experience and can help girls build valuable life skills, learn to work as a team, and create lifelong memories. Follow this Travel Progression Chart (updated January 2025) to see how girls can learn the skills they need to become competent travelers, including how to plan and organize trips. Travel fun can be endless when girls lead!
1. Begin planning your trip! 
2. Complete required training.
3. Submit your trip plans for Council approval.
Each fall, all troops must meet with their service unit's Girl Experience Mentor (GEM) to be qualified for travel. If you do not know who your GEM is or your area does not have one, please email answers@girlscoutsosw.org for staff support with qualifications.
Day trips, overnights, and short trips (2-3 nights)
Extended trips and international travel
4. Pack your bags!
