1. Trips with Girl Scouts is Unique!
• Trips has a purpose
in Girl Scouting.
• Girl Planning is what
make the Girl Scout experience unique.
• Progression is very important
in trip planning.
1
2. Is Your Troop Ready?
• For any kind of trip, girls need practice in some
basic lessons
• Girls need certain skills before taking an
overnight trip.
• Are the girls comfortable being away from
home?
• Do the girls know how to practice good
manners?
• Can girls get along for a longer period time?
2
3. Progression for Girl Scout Outings
and Trips
• Daisies (or girls who
have not been on a trip
before) should start
with a short walk away
from the meeting place.
• Follow this progression
when planning Girl Scout outings.
Plan outings that last longer and are further
away from your meetings.
3
4. Suggested Progression of Trips:
• Meeting time trips:
may include traveling
in a car or public
transportation
• Day trips:
same as above but
perhaps adding
lunch in a restaurant;
additional stops for shopping
or site seeing.
4
5. Simple overnight trips:
one or two nights away,
perhaps in a motel,
multiple sites to visit,
restaurants.
Extended overnight trips:
three or more nights
away in the U.S.;
possibly several
modes of
transportation and
multiple lodging sites
5
6. • Destinations: girls
at least 12 years of
travel alone to site
of the event
• International trips:
girls at least 14 years
of age, outside of the
U.S.; usually the troop
has planned for 2-3
years for this trip
6
7. Girl Planning for Girl Scout Outings
and Trips
• Daisies: help choose
where to go
• Brownies: choose where
to go, how much it will
cost, what to wear, what
to bring, safety on the trip
and evaluation
• Juniors: choose where to
go and what to do, set a
budget, schedule
activities, safety and
evaluation
7
8. Girl Planning for Girl Scout Outings
and Trips
• Cadettes: three or more day
trip, budget for the trip,
scheduling activities (may
include advanced skills, i.e.,
white-water rafting, skiing),
evaluation
• Senior/Ambassadors:
• can be international trip,
long term planning and
budgeting, investigate lodging
and reservations, evaluation
8
9. Girl to Adult Ratios
• For activities away from
• the meeting site –
• two adults will be
• needed for each:
• 6 Daisies
• 12 Brownies
• 16 Juniors
• 20 Cadettes
• 24 Seniors/Ambassadors
9
10. . . . If the numbers go up
• You will need an
additional adult for each:
• 4 Daisies
• 6 Brownies
• 8 Juniors
• 10 Cadettes
• 12 Seniors/Ambassadors
10
11. The same girl/adult ratios
apply at Girl Scout camp
overnights, however . . .
A qualified adult with Troop Camp
Certification must be in attendance.
11
12. Let’s Talk About Safety
Before traveling make sure you have
addressed the following topics with your
troop and what to do
Let girls act out possible scenarios of
things that might happen
(good and bad) on the trip.
Separated from group
Buddy system
How to act in public places
Basic First aid
Expected Behavior
12
13. More Travel Safety Hints
• No names on clothing where strangers can see it.
• Dress alike with the same color t-shirts when visiting
crowed areas
• Girls should know the circumstances when it is OK to
talk to strangers (lost, sick, hurt) and when not to talk to
strangers.
• Girls should know how to use a telephone, how to
phone home, and how to phone police or fire.
• If you split up into groups – an adult should be with
each group and you should have a scheduled “meeting
back together” time.
13
14. Responsible Traveling
As Girl Scouts, you and your
girls are representatives of
the largest voluntary organization
