Girl Scouts Destinations

Description

Current girl scouts age 13 and older can participate in Costa Rica Outward Bound courses through the Girl Scouts of the USA Destinations program.

Outward Bound inspires personal development and growth through wilderness-based adventure activities. Scouts learn about teamwork and leadership, boost their self-confidence, participate in meaningful service projects, learn new skills and make friends from all over. Girls are also exposed to Central American language and culture throughout their course experience.

Details

Girl Scouts courses are offered in the summer months, and for the first time in 2012, we are also offering a winter destination course! Scouts must apply to the GSUSA Destinations program through their local councils.

All courses will challenge scouts through adventure and service activities. Options include:

• Whitewater rafting
• Backpacking with family homestays
• Community service (single & multi-day programs)
• Scuba diving certification
• Surfing
• Jungle waterfall rappel
• Zipline & canopy tour

This course is open only to current members of Girl Scouts of the USA. Scouts must apply to participate through the GSUSA Destinations program and be ages 13-18 at the time of course.
