Individual Travel – Council-Sponsored
Requests for individual travel for GSACPC-sponsored travel opportunities will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis after completing the Financial Assistance Application.
Individual Travel – GSUSA Sponsored Destinations
Except in cases of extreme need, it is expected that the funding for the experience will be:
- 10% from the Girl Scout and her family
- 30% from Volunteer Financial Assistance Committee
- 60% split between the family and financial assistance
In other words, all Girl Scouts attending Destinations will receive at least 30% support. After the needs-based review by the committee, those girls who have demonstrated significant needs could receive as much as 90%. All girls approved for destinations must complete the Financial Assistance Application.
Troop Travel
Troops may plan trips that are within their means and must accumulate sufficient funds for domestic and international travel. An understanding of the Girl Scout Travel Progression is necessary to ensure a successful trip.
Troops may request financial assistance if they do not have sufficient funds despite the efforts of the girls and adults who support them. Assistance will be no more than 10% of the total cost of the trip and will only cover the costs of the necessary adults as outlined in the GSUSA safety guidelines.
Please submit the Troop Assistance Request for the troop. Applications for individual girl and adult trips will not be considered.
Requests that include entertainment-based trips and those that are similar to family vacations will not be considered.
Viajes de Tropa

La ayuda financiera puede otorgarse cuando no se acumule lo planeado, a pesar de los esfuerzos de las niñas y adultos que las apoyan. La ayuda financiera nunca deberá ser parte del proceso de planeación. En caso de haya un contratiempo, la ayuda no será mayor al 10% del costo total del viaje y solo cubrirá los costos de los adultos necesarios como se describe en las pautas de seguridad de GSUSA.
