Things to Know

• Choose from many types of events. See what life is really like for an M.D. or camp in the green depths of the Costa Rican rainforest.
• You can travel around the corner or around the globe.
• Check the Studio 2B website often. Getaway destinations are constantly being added.
• Don't be intimidated by the price. Many of the events are offered at reduced prices from what the public would be charged. Plus, financial assistance may be available from Girl Scouts of Western Washington, and Girl Scouts of the USA can help you with ideas for raising money for your trip.

Click, Pick, and Go
Click through the events. Pick your top four choices. Go on a destination (or two or three!). Travel has never been easier.

Between the Pick and Go: Application Instructions

• Download the application form and complete it. You must complete a full application for each event you choose to apply to.
• Print out two copies of the reference form and ask two people who know how awesome you are to fill them out. You can use the same letters of reference for all of your applications. (Some events require more than two letters of reference — so read the event description carefully.)
• Send your application to your local Girl Scout council. All applications and references must be postmarked by November 9, 2007.
• If you have questions about anything on the national website, you can call Girl Scouts of Western Washington at (800) 767-6845.
• You'll know whether you've been accepted to go on your destination between January 15 and February 15.
