LEADERSHIP SUMMIT LEADERSHIP SUMMITLEADERSHIP SUMMIT

2027 EF Global Leadership Summit: Social Responsibility ~S,A
Destinations: Munich, Germany | Prague, Czech Republic | Berlin, Germany
Dates: July 5–14, 2027
Open to: Rising 9th graders through graduated seniors

Students will travel through three incredible European cities — exploring powerful landmarks and conversations about how peaceful leadership changed the course of history. You’ll explore how communities across Central Europe are responding to some of today's greatest humanitarian challenges, including the global refugee crisis. Girl Scouts will enjoy a cooking class led by refugees, sharing authentic recipes and stories from their home countries. Finally, you’ll attend the 2027 Leadership Summit in Prague— featuring project-based learning, workshops, and discussions led by thought leaders and expert speakers, along with Keynote Speaker Malala Yousafzai!  

*This is not a GHSNJ Tour. Travelers are responsible for own transportation to departing airport. 

If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out to Maggie.Lenahan@ef.com or Amy.Kosar@gmail.com.

About the Group Leader:

“I believe some of the best learning happens outside the classroom. For more than 20 years I've worked in hunger relief and food systems, helping communities access the food they need. That work has reinforced something I've always believed: when we understand the world better, we can change it for the better. 

Girl Scouts has also been a huge part of my life — I was a troop leader for 12 years, served in several leadership roles including Service Unit Chair and Chair of the Gold Award Committee, and in 2019 was honored as a Woman of Distinction by Girl Scouts of Eastern South Carolina.   

Some of my favorite memories are from traveling with my troop — navigating new cities, trying unfamiliar foods, and watching kids realize they're capable of more than they thought. Travel builds confidence, independence, and stories you'll tell for the rest of your life. My job is to make sure every experience is safe, meaningful, and unforgettable. Let's go explore together!

  Islands of the Azores: Environmental Science in Action, June 30th-July7th, 2026 ~C*,S,A

Come travel to Ponta Delgada, Portugal, with GSHNJ on this exciting hands-on environmental journey! We’ll be busy learning from scientists about Volcanology, visit the Seismic Volcanic Center, learn about the island’s geology, take a guided hike to Sete Cidades, famous for its natural beauty and location in a dormant volcanic crater, participate in a whale watching excursion, learn how to sample and analyze local water sources with scientists, soak in a thermal bath, all while making lasting memories with our sister Girl Scouts. It is recommended that Girl Scouts ages 11-13 yrs old be accompanied by their guardian or troop leader. Learn more here: www.eftours.com/2760640NF

Girl Scout Destinations are the ultimate adventure for individual Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador Girl Scouts! With a ton of different trips to apply for every year—from surfing camp on the east coast and breathtaking hikes out west, to the wonder of new cultures abroad—there’s something amazing for everyone to experience.

Make friends from all over the country as you travel with Girl Scouts from different states, see and learn new things, and pack your bags full of inspiring, life-changing experiences and memories.

Troop Trips toggle arrow

A Trip Application is required for any troop-hosted event that includes an overnight or high-risk activity as defined in the most current version of Safety Activity Checkpoints. An Intent to Travel Application is required before final plans are confirmed for any troop-hosted domestic travel that is longer than two nights or any international travel. A Trip Application is not required for participation in council-hosted programs. The application is necessary to ensure that all GSHNJ safety policies, standards, and guidelines are properly met prior to Girl Scouts’ participation in the activity.
