Thank you for joining us for this exciting global program for Junior and Cadette troops!
You’ll build cross-cultural knowledge as you learn all about our global Girl Scout Movement and
participate in fun, globally focused activities. You’ll also learn about the five different locations
you can visit, called the World Centers. We’ll cover Girl Scouts’ travel progression and how girls
can take the lead to successfully plan their own travel.
Ultimately, your troop will set a goal to visit a World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts
(WAGGGS) World Center in three or four years! In the meantime, you’ll plan one or two trips
within the United States over the next two years, so you can start your travel adventures while
building your travel savvy.
Planning for your trip will take five troop meetings.
TIP: You may also hold more meetings to allow yourself additional time for other meeting
activities, or you could plan a weekend to hold all five meetings at once.
The meetings include:
• Go Global! Learn about our global Movement and WAGGGS.
• Travel Tools! Explore the Girl Scout travel progression and a cross-cultural skill.
• Planning and Prep! Discover what it takes to travel internationally and how to be
prepared.
• Activate Your Adventure! Decide where to travel and start planning.
Travel Like a Girl Scout! Learn how to travel like a Girl Scout and what the next steps
are.
This workbook is for both girls and troop leaders; feel free to use it as your guide throughout the
travel-planning process. Some activities in this workbook may be completed electronically if you
don’t want to print them out. Let’s get started!
Meeting 1: Go Global! Learn about our global Movement and
the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts
(WAGGGS).
Introduction
Did you know that Girl Scouts are connected to millions of other girls around the world? Today
you’ll learn about our global Movement and WAGGGS. You’ll also learn about the five World
Centers—unique cultural hubs to visit around the world!
Icebreaker
Ask each girl, “If you could visit anywhere in the world, where would it be?”
Materials Needed
For this first meeting, you’ll use pages 3, 4 and 6 of this workbook. Begin working on these
pages today and finish up on your own before your next meeting: the WAGGGS and World
Centers Scavenger Hunt and the World Centers Worksheet. You can fill in these pages
electronically (save the trees!) or print them and grab a pen.
Step 1: Learn About WAGGGS
Watch the WAGGGS overview video. Take a look at your WAGGGS and World Centers
Scavenger Hunt (on the following two pages) as you watch. Our girl presenters may share some
WAGGGS knowledge that can help you fill your sheet in. You don’t have to finish everything
now—you’ll complete the rest at home before your next meeting.
Discuss: How much of the worksheet did you fill in today? What’s one new fact that each person
learned?

Watch this video to learn the song—then watch again to sing along!
Here are the lyrics for singing along:
The World Song
Our way is clear as we march on,
And see! Our flag on high,
Is never furled throughout the world,
For hope shall never die!
We must unite for what is right,
In friendship true and strong,
Until the earth,
In its rebirth,
Shall sing our song!
Shall sing our song!
All those who loved the true and good,
Whose promises were kept,
With humble mind, whose acts were kind,
whose honor never slept;
These were the free!
And we must be,
Prepared like them to live,
To give to all,
Both great and small,
All we can give
All we can give
TIP: For some extra fun, create your own lyrics to “The World Song”! Find out how on Girl
Scouts at Home.

two you will watch this week (feel free to watch more if you have time). Consider watching all of
them eventually. Don’t forget to keep an open mind—maybe try to learn about the World
Centers you know the least about. To access the videos below, ask your parent or caregiver to
register.

Meeting 2: Travel Tools! Explore the Girl Scout travel progression and a
cross-cultural skill.
Introduction
During Meeting 2, you’ll learn about the travel progression—how Girl Scouts build travel skills
and experiences—from day trips all the way to international and independent travel.
Icebreaker
After doing the homework from the first meeting and learning more about the World Centers,
which World Center do you want to visit the most? Did you change your mind from the one you
originally wanted to visit?
Materials Needed
Use page 8 of this workbook to begin the Cultural Iceberg worksheet during this meeting, and
finish up on your own at home before your next meeting. You can fill in this page electronically
(save the trees!) or print it and grab a pen.
Step 1: Learn About the Travel Progression
Watch our video about how travel progression works. The video has a quiz! Follow along and
write down your answers.
Discuss as a troop:
• Where are you in the travel progression as an individual?
• Which of the below activities have you done together as a troop?
- A local field trip in my neighborhood
- An all-day trip that involved eating lunch while out and about
- An overnight trip that was two days long
- A regional trip a few hours from my home that was three to four days long
Figure out where your troop is on the travel progression. You should plan your next troop trip for
one step up on the progression. You’ll start planning this trip in Meeting 3!
Step 2: Introduction to Cross-Cultural Skills
Watch our video about culture. Grab your “Cultural Iceberg” worksheet on the next page and fill
it in as you watch.
Discuss:
• What does culture mean to you?
• Share some takeaways from your Cultural Iceberg worksheet
• What aspects of culture—both visible culture and deep culture—are you excited to learn
about when you travel?
18
Session 2 Activity
TIP: If you didn’t finish the iceberg activity during this meeting, complete it on your own before
your next meeting.
Step 3: Wrapping It Up
Discuss: What’s one new thing you learned today?
Homework:
• Maps exploration—work in teams of two or three girls to complete the Maps Exploration
activity, then bring your results to your next meeting.
TIP: If your troop has already taken an overnight trip of three or more days in your region
(within a six-hour drive from home) and you’re ready to travel further, expand this activity
to include all the United States.
• Complete the cultural questions on your own to start thinking about your own culture!

Troop Activities
Do both activities below before Session 3.
Go to www.google.com/maps.
Type in your zip code. Click “Directions” and then
select either the car (“Driving”) or trolley (“Transit”)
icon if you’re in one of 48 contiguous United States.
If you’re not in the mainland U.S., click the plane
(“Flights”) icon.
Juniors can travel in their region. Your “region” is
dened by rules set by your local council, but it usually
encompasses a roughly six-hour driving radius from
your home.
First, see how far away you are from the top ve
biggest cities in the United States!
Type in the city names and states listed below.
How many driving hours away are each of these cities
from your zip code? (You can round to the closest
hour!)
New York City, New York: _____ hours away from my
home
Los Angeles, California: _____ hours away from my
home
Chicago, Illinois: _____ hours away from my home
Houston, Texas: _____ hours away from my home
Phoenix, Arizona: _____ hours away from my home
Next, time to explore! Use Google Maps to nd three
different cool or exciting places within a six-hour drive
of your home.
What places did you nd? How far away are these
places from your home? Decide at least one thing you
would like to do or see at each place.
This activity will get you thinking about your own
culture—on the bottom of the iceberg. Imagine
these scenarios. Write down or think of either the
best possible one-sentence response to each of the
following. You can also use an example you know
you’ve said before:
1. How would you give someone a compliment
about the clothes they are wearing?
2. How would you apologize to a family member
for hurting their feelings?
3. How would you explain to your teacher that you
did not do a homework assignment?
Share these questions and your answers with a friend
or family member! Did they like or not like the way you
communicated each statement? Why or why not? Ask
them how you could improve the statement to work
better for them.
Pick one response that your friend or family member
did not like as much. Try to improve your original
statement by thinking about the way they like to
be communicated with. Share the new statement
with that person. Did they like or not like the new
statement? Why or why not?

Activity #2: Cultural Questions

Meeting 3: Planning and Prep! What it takes to travel
internationally and how to get there.
Introduction
During Meeting 3, you’ll start learning all about what it takes to travel
internationally and how to make a decision about where to go.
Icebreaker
Based on the maps exploration activity you did, discuss in small groups the three places you
found and one new thing you’d like to do in each place.
Materials Needed
Use pages 14 and 17-18 of this workbook. You’ll also complete the Troop Travel Tracker (page
14) during this meeting and start work on the Trip Planning Map (page 17-18), which you’ll work
on in depth during your next meeting. You can fill in these pages electronically (save the trees!)
or print them and grab a pen.
Step 1: Where Is Your Troop in the Travel Progression?
Watch our video about tracking your troop’s travels.
Discuss: Work as a troop to complete the Troop Travel Tracker. One person should keep the
master copy and fill in all the trips you’ve already taken in pen. (Later on you’ll put your future
travel plans in pencil.)

Travel Progression
Progression allows girls to learn the skills they need to
become competent travelers, including how to plan and
organize trips. Travel fun can be endless when girls lead.
Get your travel
feet wet! Walk to a
nearby garden, or
take a short ride to
a rehouse or other
local spot.
Keep it girl-led:
girls choose the
location.
Take an all-day trip!
Keep it girl-led:
girls choose the
location and
activity (perhaps
working toward a
badge) and make
plans for lunch.
Start with
one night, maybe
at a camp or
museum. Progress
to a weekend trip
in a nearby city or
state park.
Keep it girl-led:
girls plan the
activity and meals,
create travel
games, and pack
their own overnight
bags.
Spend three to
four nights away
somewhere a few
hours from home.
Keep it girl-led:
girls plan key
details of the
trip, such as the
activities, the
budget, the route,
and lodging.
(Extended
trip insurance
required.)
Travel the country!
Trips often last
a week or more.
Girls should think
beyond a typical
vacation location
and consider
historical sites,
museums, or
national parks!
Keep it girl-led:
girls lead the entire
planning process
and might add a
community service
or Take Action
project.
(Extended
trip insurance
required.)
Travel the world!
These life-changing
trips usually
take one to three
years to prepare.
Consider visiting
a WAGGGS World
Centre!
Keep it girl-led:
girls download
the Global Travel
Toolkit and plan
their entire trip
(including learning
about the language,
culture, passports
and visas,
exchange rates,
etc.).
(Extended
trip insurance
required.)
Cadette, Senior,
and Ambassador
girls with travel
experience can
travel nationally
or internationally
independently
through council-
offered travel
opportunities
or GSUSA’s
Destinations
program. Check
with your council,
or visit the Girl
Scout Destinations
website!

When moving up to each level of the progression, consider girls’ independence,
exibility, decision making, group skills, and cross cultural skills.
Check with your council about age
requirements. Girls should have
experience at every level of the
progression before moving on to the
next level. For regional travel, girls
must be Juniors or older.
For national and international trips,
girls must be Cadettes or older.
Session 3 Activity
Troop Travel Tracker
Work with your troop to complete the “Troop Travel Tracker” below. After you have lled it in and agreed as a troop, be
sure to have everyone sign!
Refer back to the Travel Progression Chart from Session 2. Use that alongside the Troop Travel Tracker. You will now
ll in the Troop Travel Tracker. Start by listing trips you have already taken. If your troop has already gone on some day
trips and overnight or weekend trips, your next trip should be a regional trip: a trip that is three or more nights long
and within a few hours’ drive from your home. If your troop has already taken a regional trip, you can move on to a
national trip! Once you take your national trip, you’ll be ready for your international trip to one of the World Centers!

Step 2: Whose Travel Adventure Is This?
Watch our video about how girls lead the planning of Girl Scout trips.
Discuss: What surprised you about this? Why is it important for girls to lead trip planning?
Step 3: How Do We Decide Where to Go Next?
Watch the video about how to work as a troop to decide where to travel.
Discuss: What process will your troop use in your next meeting to vote on your next two trips?
What are the guidelines?
Step 4: Wrapping It Up
Discuss: Do you feel ready for your next meeting? What questions do you have?
Homework: Based on the process you’ve agreed on, come prepared with your pitch for your
troop’s next two trips.
Meeting 4: Activate Your Adventure! Decide where to travel
and start planning.
Introduction
During Meeting 4, you’ll decide where your troop will travel on your next regional or domestic
trip as well as your eventual trip to a World Center!
Icebreaker
Briefly go around and share one interesting fact about the place you want to travel without
actually naming the place. (You’ll let everyone know later—keep it a mystery for now!)
Materials Needed
Use 14 and 16-17 of this workbook. Fill out two copies of the Trip Planning Map—one for each
of your upcoming trips—and start work on them today. You can fill in these pages electronically
(save the trees!) or print them and grab a pen.
Step 1: Pitch Time!
It’s time to pitch and vote on your upcoming trips! Try to set some time limits, but this may have
to be flexible, depending on the size of your troop and how many trips you’re planning. By the
end of this time, agree on an upcoming regional or domestic trip and on which World Center
you’ll visit! Once you decide, fill in the plans on your Troop Travel Tracker.
Step 2: How Will You Get There?
Watch our video about what you’ll need to do to plan and prepare for your trip.
Discuss: Talk as a group about your money-earning strategies and plans. How will you create a
budget? What money-earning ideas do you have now that you can pitch to your council?
Step 3: Wrapping It Up
Homework: As individuals, research and make a list of some of the tasks you think you need to
include on your Trip Planning Maps. At your next meeting, work as a team to add these tasks to
your Trip Planning Maps. You can read about some of the tasks in these resources:
• Girl Scout Guide to U.S. Travel
• Global Travel Toolkit

Meeting 5: Travel Like a Girl Scout! How to travel like a Girl Scout and
which next steps to take.
Introduction
During Meeting 5, you’ll learn what makes a Girl Scout trip unique and which next steps to take
on the road to global travel!
Icebreaker
What do you think it means to “travel like a Girl Scout?”
Materials Needed
Use page 19 of this workbook. You’ll also fill out more steps on the Trip Planning Map today.
You can fill in these pages electronically (save the trees!) or print them and grab a pen.
Step 1: Travel Like a Girl Scout
Some things make traveling as a Girl Scout different than traveling with your family or with your
school.
Work as a troop to complete the following worksheet.
What makes a “Girl Scout” trip? How we can do this on our trips?
Girl-planned/girl-led
Meeting other Girl Scouts/Girl Guides
Representing yourself, your council, Girl
Scouts, and the United States
Community service projects or Take Action
projects (You could even complete a Take
Action project in your own community, after
you come home, based on what you learn
traveling!)
Responsible travel (eco-friendly travel,
making sure to Leave No Trace, etc.)
As a group, review the Responsible Travel Tips from the Center for Responsible Travel.
Discuss: Which of these tips is new to you?
Step 2: Our Trip Planning Maps
Take time as a troop to fill in your maps with the tasks you’ll need to complete.
Step 3: Wrapping It Up
Discuss: How ready do you feel to start planning your trips? (Note: Your council may have
additional training and resources for you as you explore the details.)
Homework: Troop leaders should contact their councils to let them know about the trip planning
and to find out what the next steps are for your council.
Congratulations! You’re now officially on your way to global travel!
