Chicago Summer 2027

Join us for a long weekend in Chicago, Friday through Monday, in summer 2027! This trip is open to JCSA troops and CSA Juliettes. Chaperones will be provided for Juliettes, and registered adult Girl Scouts may also attend.

Girls should have previous overnight experience. The group will travel and stay together, while troops can choose to participate in group activities or explore Chicago on their own.

The trip will depart from the Toledo area. A deposit will be due in December 2026, with final payments due in April 2027. Trip details, including the itinerary and budget, will be shared as planning continues.

This experience is designed to help girls build confidence and independence through travel while learning to plan, budget and explore together.

Before registering, please review the GSUSA Guide to U.S. Travel and complete the “Am I Ready to Travel?” survey with your troop.
