Group Travel Home-Study (Manual and DVD) Training

Because every girl deserves a chance to see the world, Girl Scouts offers many 

different trip/travel opportunities so girls can see new places, meet new people,

and learn about different cultures and ideas. Whether exploring their own neighborhoods,

going on overnight camping trips, participating in community service projects,

or flying to one of the four world centers, Girl Scouts are continually expanding their horizons.

To this end, the Council has developed the Girl Scout Group Travel Home-Study Manual and

DVD training that provides all of the information needed to safely conduct a group trip away

from the regular meeting time and place.  What you will find in the Group  Travel Home-Study

Manual is general information, a timeline for submission of forms, and  a compilation of the

procedures and forms needed for Day Trips, Simple Overnight Trips (on-island), Extended

Overnight Trips (inter-island, mainland), Studio 2B Destination Trips (individual girl and group),

and International Trips as well as a DVD of a training session. You will also find the Council's

Policies and Standards for Adults Participating in the Girl Scout Program.
