We've heard that the West Coast is the Best Coast so let's find out as we travel to California in the summer of 2025! 

This trip will include a visit to Yosemite National Park and Disneyland! Other options for the girls to consider while planning could include a beach day, Sequoia National Park, King's Canyon, Joshua Tree and the city of San Francisco. Activities will include hiking, touring, playing in the West Coast waters, and enjoying local cuisine. Lodging will consist of vacation rentals, motels, and camping. 

After the travel application date closes on December 31, then our travel group will be chosen. Girls will meet in 2024 to plan the trip as well as create a method to earn money to cover trip expenses. Cookie dough as well as individual product program proceeds can be counted towards a girl's trip expenses (with troop approval). Girls can also apply for the Adventurers Scholarship ($100/girl/year). 

Date: July 2025 (estimated trip length is 8-10 days)
Location: California (will travel via airplane to the state and back; then car between activity destinations)
Girls' Ages: Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors (must be 13 years old in July 2025)
Cost: $2,000-$2,200 (cost dependent upon activities the girls choose); after the girl is notified they are chosen, a non-refundable $200 deposit will be required to hold her spot (which goes towards your overall trip cost)
Min/Max: 6/9 participants
