Join Girl Scouts of Greater Iowa for a weekend getaway to the Twin Cities! We'll spend a fun, adventure-filled weekend exploring all there is to do in Minneapolis and St. Paul. We'll spend time discovering the amazing lakes, check out art and history museums, take in a local sports game, and of course spend some time exploring the amazing Mall of America!
See the world with Girl Scouts!
When Girl Scouts travel, they learn important skills, make lasting memories, and build lifelong friendships.
Girl Scouts love to travel, from the field trips they take as Brownies to the global adventures they go on as teens. Where can you go? Experience the unique and dynamic cultures of Peru, learn Girl Scout traditions and history in Savannah, or have an exciting outdoor adventure in Belize! There are travel options to suit every Girl Scout.
How far will your Girl Scout experience take you? That’s up to you!

Troop Travel
Travelling with your troop is an opportunity for Girl Scouts to develop decision-making skills, work collaboratively with their peers and troop leaders, and build up the confidence to take on more advanced travel opportunities.
Trip and Travel Progression
Volunteers without any travel experience probably aren’t ready to shepherd a group of 12+ Girl Scouts through an airport. Likewise, not all Girl Scouts will approach travel with the same comfort level or ability to follow rules while away. Troop leaders, troop volunteers, and Girl Scouts need to start with small, local trips to work their way up to advanced, national or international travel.
Planning for Trips and Travel
Planning for trips and travel is an opportunity for Girl Scouts to develop decision-making skills and work collaboratively with leaders and troop volunteers. Just remember, all trips should have an immediate purpose (such as complementing badges or learning new skills) and involve Girl Scouts in the planning process. Check out the Event/Activity/Trip Checklist for help planning.
