Senior/Ambassador Journey Overnight Feb. 14-15 5 pm, Fri.-10 am, Sat. $60 per Girl Scout Max Girl Scouts: 20 Max Adults: 2 Reg. Deadline: Jan. 31

How often has a person seen something that really need to be changed and wondered "why isn't someone doing something about that?" This Journey gives Girl Scouts a way to be that someone—an advocate with the power to start the first flutter of real and lasting change. While creating their own butterfly effect, Girl Scouts will learn skills such as networking, planning, and speaking up for what they believe. Girl Scout Seniors earn their GIRLtopia Journey Award. Girl Scout Ambassadors earn their Your Voice, Your World Journey Award.

Extreme Adventures— Underground Kayaking

Please Note: Girl Scouts MUST be at least 13 years of age on the date of the program to participate. On this Extreme Adventure, Girl Scouts will kayak underground at Crystal City Cave! Located less than an hour south of St. Louis, this is a unique opportunity Girl Scouts won't want to miss. The water is crystal clear, allowing kayakers to see remnants of mining. This is at minimum a 2-hour excursion in a cold cave with a few tight spaces to navigate. Transportation to the cave is not provided. The Extreme Adventures programs offer 6-12 grade Girl Scouts unique and "extreme" outdoor related opportunities—see pg. 8 for more information about the program.

Please note that this is an expanded version of the required Gold Award training, therefore, if a Girl Scout attends this workshop, they will not have to attend additional training.
