Hostelling International North Carolina Council

The Council offers scholarships for youth groups making their first trip to a hostel.  North Carolina Girl Scout troops working on their hosteling patch have used these scholarships to visit the Galax Hostel, the Washington DC and New York Hostels.   One troop visited the Chamounix Mansion in Philadelphia.   A college group just returned from Chicago.  To apply, use the Contact Us form.  Just provide the name of your youth group, the number of students and adults who will need overnight accommodations, the name of the hostel and the date of your proposed trip.   After your group's scholarship is approved and you have made your reservations, your overnight fees will be mailed directly to the hostel.
