Check out Girl Scout Destinations, the ultimate adventure program for girls ages 11 and older. With a variety of different trips to apply for every year—from surfing camp on the east coast and breathtaking hikes out west, to the crazy-cool wonder of new cultures abroad—there’s something amazing for everyone to experience.

Applications are being accepted on a rolling basis and Girl Scouts can apply for up to four Destinations trips at a time! Use this Application Worksheet to prepare for your online Destinations Application. The online application cannot be stopped and returned to once started. A separate application with a unique essay for each trip needs to be submitted.

Dakota Horizons offers scholarships for up to 20% of the Destinations trip cost for as long as funds are available. Applications for scholarships must be submitted at the same time as the trip application. Destinations scholarship requests are reviewed as they are submitted and will be rewarded as funds are available.
