Camp & Property Rentals

You’re a force of nature, Girl Scout.

And you're ready for more outdoor adventures.

Whether you’re discovering the wildlife in your own backyard, swimming in a lake for the first time at summer camp or being a citizen scientist and observing bees in your neighborhood park, every outdoor adventure grows your “I’ve got this” attitude. Once you unlock that confidence, you’ll aim as high as the stars you see outside your cabin window.

Travel & Adventure

Girl Scouts love to travel—from the field trips they take as Brownies to the global adventures they go on as teens. If you love exploring different places and cultures, then Girl Scouts is the place for you.

You can experience all that our country has to offer, whether you’re “blasting off” at Space Camp in Alabama, taking in a Broadway show in New York City, or visiting the birthplace of Girl Scouts’ founder, Juliette Gordon Low, in Savannah, Georgia. And you can plan even bigger adventures around the world, traveling with other Girl Scouts who share your love of adventure.

Troop-Organized

Troops wanting to plan their own travel opportunities can start the process by taking Extended Troop Travel Training. EF Tours and Holbrook Travel also offer approved Girl Scout travel packages that fall within the Girl Scout guidelines that are great for troops.

Council-Organized

Girl Scouts of Northern California offers annual trips for girls in their Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador levels from around the council to travel together and experience new adventures.

GSUSA Destinations

If girls are looking for more adventure and are interested in meeting Girl Scouts from around the USA, girls can apply for a GSUSA Destination!

High Adventure

From white water rafting to rock climbing, GSNorCal has more approved vendors than any other council in the US, which means more places to try new activities.
