Registration for all other 2027 camp programs will begin in the winter of 2026. To register for any of our 2027 summer camp programs, you will need to create an account with CampMinder. Once you’ve created your account, you will be able to register your Girl Scout(s) for any (or all!) of our summer camp offerings – Sprout Camps, Adventure Challenges or Traditional Camps. Spaces are available on a first come, first served basis and your spot is not reserved until your registration is complete and the $250 deposit is paid.

Registration will close one month prior to the start date of each session or when sold out, whichever comes first.

If you have any questions or need assistance with camp registration, please reach out to overseascustomercare@girlscouts.org.

What if I sign up and cannot attend? What is your cancellation policy? toggle arrow

Once registration and deposits/payments are submitted, there are no refunds except for extreme, extenuating circumstances. Examples of an extreme, extenuating circumstance include illness (verified in writing by a doctor), death of an immediate family member or unexpected PCS orders with less than 30-days notice. If you have an extenuating circumstance that requires a cancellation prior to camp, please contact overseascustomercare@girlscouts.org as soon as possible.

My camper will be a Brownie (2nd grader) next year. Can she attend camp? My daughter will be a Senior (9th grader) next year. Should we register her as a Cadette or Senior? What about graduating 12 graders- can they attend camp? toggle arrow

For fall, winter, and spring programs (September 1- May 1), Girl Scouts should be registered according to their current grade.

If you are registering your Girl Scout for summer camp (May 2- August 15), you will register your camper as the grade that she will be in for the new school year. For example, if your Girl Scout Junior will finish 5th grade in Spring 2027 and will start 6th grade in Fall 2027, you should register her as a Cadette 6th grader.

Here are some additional examples:

A Girl Scout in 3rd grade at the time of registration should register for summer camp as a 4th grade Junior. If this same Girl Scout were to register for a Spring, Fall, Winter Camp, they would register as a 3rd grade Brownie.
A Girl Scout who just finished the 1st grade should be registered for summer camp as a 2nd grade Brownie.
A Girl Scout who just finished kindergarten should be registered as a 1st grade Daisy.
A girl who has not yet started kindergarten cannot attend our Sprout Camps. We’ll look forward to seeing her at camp in 2028 when she is a little older!

If the family feels like the girl would be better suited developmentally with a different program grade level, please contact us at overseascustomercare@girlscouts.org to discuss.

Girls who are graduating high school (will bridge to adults in Fall 2027) are invited to register for one last year of camp as a Girl Scout Ambassador. Or, if they will be 18 years old by May 1, 2027, we would love them to consider applying to be a Camp Counselor.

How can I be a camp counselor? toggle arrow

Camp USAGSO 2027 is nearing, and we are on the search for a team of counselors to make our camps all around the world events to remember!

Counselors will be paired with a co-counselor and a peer group of girls ranging from Girl Scout Daisies to Ambassadors. Over the course of a week, they will navigate a variety of traditional camp and outdoor activities, while encouraging and creating a safe and expressive environment for our Girl Scouts.

Qualified applicants will be over the age of 18, have a valid CPR/First Aid certification and have experience working with youth. We are also looking for a qualified camp nurse for both our Germany and Japan camps. Qualified individuals will work in medical fields and hold a current/valid health certification/degree.

Camp staff will receive a stipend of $300 for each program they attend.

Applications will be listed in the next few months, so keep an eye out on our socials for an announcement! Questions can be directed to overseascustomercare@girlscouts.org.

Do you offer a Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program? toggle arrow

Yes! We are offering a CIT program for Girl Scout Seniors and Ambassadors at our week-long session in Europe. Exact program location will be announced in December. CITs mentor young girls in a camp setting as they build skills toward becoming a camp counselor. Our CIT program gives older girls the chance to be involved in leadership, problem-solving and learning scenarios at camp and fulfills the requirements for the CIT I Award.
