International Travel

	INTERNATIONAL TRAVEL SAFETY Girl Scouts of the USA relies on the travel advisories issued by the United States Department of State and will notify councils should there be an advisory against travel to any of our current STUDIO 2BSM destinations events. Read more about International Travel Safety in the Girl Scout Central section of this site. Check with the U.S. Department of State for travel warnings.

For more than 50 years, Girl Scouts of the USA has administered international travel opportunities allowing girls and adults to attend events abroad. Traveling to another country and participating in this kind of hands-on living is the best way to learn about other cultures.

Girl Scouts of the USA founder Juliette Gordon Low, a prolific traveler herself, would often provide help to allow girls around the globe to attend world conferences. Her dedication to international understanding and travel inspired the creation of the Juliette Low World Friendship Fund after her death. The fund supports participation by girls and young women in international travel opportunities.

These events give girls the chance to make new friends, build leadership skills, and share ideas with women and girls from around the world. Every year Girl Scouts venture to international events in countries they may not otherwise have been able to visit.

Girl Scouts ages 14-17 interested in applying for a STUDIO 2B destinations event (formerly Wider Opportunities) can go to the STUDIO 2B Web site or contact their local Girl Scout council.
