Girl Scout Scuba Troop 40348
Diving
Exploring our local Texas waterways is one of our favorite things to do as Girl Scouts. Diving into the depths of Lake Travis to the sparkling waters of Spring Lake, we spend the majority of our time discovering Texas' local diving spots. Each year, we head out for a bit of blue water diving, exploring the ocean, and improving our skills. Our troop ranges from Open Water Divers to Jr. Divemasters.
Conservation
From taking action to protect our oceans and aquatic life to examining the impact of sunscreen and zeba muscles on our local environment, conservation is at the heart of everything we do. We've created Girl Scout Sunscreen patches, advocated for restaurants in our local community to go strawless, and even volunteered at underwater coral nurseries! As Girl Scouts, we're working to make the world a better place.
Girl Scouts
We do everything that "normal" Girl Scouts do...but underwater! We are a Girl Scout Special Intrest Troop, designed give scouts an outlet to explore their interests with like-minded girls. Innovating and overcoming new challenges is one of our favorite things to do. Donning our dive gear, we sell Girl Scout Cookies from 12 feet underwater and conduct trash clean-ups of our local waterways. Our troop leaders are certified PADI Professionals.
Dive Like A Girl Scout
About Us
"For the girls in Troop 40348 from Girl Scouts of Central Texas, Girl Scouting is about bringing all their passions together in one place: underwater! The multi-level group (with girls ranging in age from 12 to 16 years old) is filled with avid scuba divers, environmentalists, and adventurers. They do a lot of traditional troop activities—like go camping, sell cookies, sing songs, and give back to the community—they just do most of it underwater, which adds a whole other level of WOW to their Girl Scout experience. And at the core of everything they do is their ultimate goal and passion of plotting ways to save the ocean!
These girls are risk-takers and innovators through and through. With the help of five extraordinary troop leaders (who are all professional scuba dive instructors ranging from assistant instructor to course director), the girls can figure out how to flex just about any activity into something they can do underwater—from selling Girl Scout Cookies to cleaning up trash to carving Halloween pumpkins—and everything in-between. The troop has also learned how to do both shallow dives and deep dives, how to navigate underwater and scuba dive in kelp, and how to clean up invasive species in local springs."
