Trips & Tours A trip or a tour can be a great way to do something out of the ordinary. Create lasting memories for your troop that will be fun, exciting, and even educational! Every effort has been made to list opportunities that are convenient and interesting to members of our entire Girl Scouts of Southern Illinois service area. Keep in mind that not all trips and tours will be suited for every age level, so check the description of each attraction to see if it fits your troop. When planning a trip, this booklet is just the beginning of the resources that are available. Check the mail for flyers or announcements of new companies that may be opening; they may give a tour of the facility. Watch for advertisements for new attractions that you may see in the local newspaper or posted around the community. Be sure to read your Girl Scout publications and visit the website for the most up-to-date collaborations and opportunities. Even the people around you are potential resources! Chat with friends and acquaintances. Listen to other leaders at service unit meetings. Chances are, you will run into someone who has visited somewhere special. If you discover an attraction that isn’t listed in this booklet, please let us know! Remember the following when planning trips: � An Extended Trip is defined as trips of three (3) or more nights, excluding holidays, which exceeds 175 miles one-way of hometown. If your group is planning an Extended Trip, at least one adult attending the trip must have completed the Council-Sponsored Extended Trip Training. This training is valid for three years. � Check Safety-Wise for adult-girl ratios, safety tips, etc. � Make sure Council policies and standards have been met. � Wear the Girl Scout uniform or other clothing that recognizes you as a Girl Scout. � Complete Permission Slips for each girl. � Don’t forget to bring a first aid kit and Health History forms along! � Use appropriate Girl/Adult Planning to assure Girl Scouts have a great time! � Follow up with a thank you note to show your appreciation in true Girl Scout style! For more information regarding Extended Trips, this booklet, or additional information, contact the Service Center at (618) 692-0692 or visit us on the web at www.girlscoutsofsouthernillinois.org 1 GSSI 4/28/09 traveldrive/program/trips&tours2009
