We love everything that Savannah has to offer Girl Scouts! We have highlighted some of our favorite Girl Scout activities below!
Girl Scout First Headquarters
No Girl Scout Troop trip to Savannah would be complete without going to the Girl Scout First Headquarters, the carriage house of Juliette Gordon Low’s childhood home. It was willed to the Girl Scouts in 1927 to serve as The Girl Scout First Headquarters building. Located in the heart of historic Savannah, this site houses a museum and a shop. Tours are offered daily.
Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace
Girl Scouts of the USA owns and operates the Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace. This unique house museum is a National Historic Landmark. Visitors can follow Juliette Gordon Low’s extraordinary life and how the Girl Scout Movement was founded. Today, the house stands in honor of Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low, the first Girl Scout.
Old Town Trolley Tours
This company is perfect for groups. They also offer a wide variety of tours! Tours cover historic sites, ghosts, and more!
Hearse Ghost Tours
If your Girl Scouts like a good scare, check out these creepy tours! Ride around Downtown Savannah in a hearse!
Jepson Center for the Arts
This art museum always features amazing exhibits from around the world. We love visiting this museum year-round. This is also one of the Telfair Museums – there are several great museums associated with the Telfair!
Savannah African Art Musem
African art and culture are introduced at the Savannah African Art Museum providing engaging experiences to patrons. Their aim is to educate audiences about the spirituality, diversity and power of African art. Admission is free.
Plant Riverside
This is relatively new to the Savannah area. If you want to check out the Savannah River, start here – there is a long path along the river that starts at Plant Riverside. The streets are consistently pressure washed and the area offers free shows to passersby. Also, did we mention that inside one of the hotels there is a GIANT CHROME DINOSAUR REPLICA!? Additionally, next to the dinosaur, there is a huge display of geodes from Richard Kessler‘s private collection.
E. Shaver Booksellers
Yup, this place has it all! Books, cats, and a little bit of Savannah history! You must stop by this shop when in the Downtown Savannah area. The shop owners keep several cats who snuggle with guests as they browse.
Tybee Island Marine Science Center
The Tybee Island Marine Science Center is a blast! Get close to marine life and learn more about the natural world! They offer programs on the beach, in the marsh, on the beach and in the classroom. A good place to start some badgework.
Hunt for Fossilized Shark Teeth
Fossil hunting on Tybee Island is a fun activity enjoyed by all. Fossilized shark teeth from 10 species can be found at the waters edge. Fossilized whale and stingray bones can also be found- if you are lucky! This activity is fun and free!
Sundial Tours
Sundial Charters puts you in touch with coastal nature. They offer fossil hunting, dolphin watching, light tackle fishing and just about any kind of coastal day trip desired. They have trips daily all year round.
Oyster Art in the Park
While your troop is in Savannah, schedule a time to create your own oyster art – and earn an Outdoor Art badge! The oyster shells decorated for this workshop are typically harvested from local oyster beds in the Bull River harvest area.
Silent Disco Savannah
Looking to have some fun inside with your troop? Rent silent disco headphones! Silent Disco Savannah will drop off headphones at your vacation rental and pick them up the next day!
Daufuskie Island
Explore Daufuskie Island with your troop! Let your Girl Scouts see how the Lowcountry’s sea islands were before development and commercialization. Enjoy hiking, biking, fishing or exploring the pristine beach. Daufuskie Island is only accessible by ferry, but it is a fun ride out to the island. The island is on the National Register of Historic Places.
Tybee Island Beach
Visit the beach with your Girl Scouts. We recommend the North Beach area (near the lighthouse) as it is much less crowded. There is a great restaurant in the area, ample parking, and you have the ability to check out the Tybee Island Lighthouse and Fort Screven. The lighthouse is Georgia’s oldest and tallest light.
Oatland Island Wildlife Center
Oatland Island Wildlife Center is a 100+ acre shoreline estuary featuring a 2-mile nature trail featuring 5 main animal exhibit areas. This compact, zoo-like preserve houses dozens of species in their natural habitats, plus education programs! Oatland Island Wildlife Center seeks to provide memorable experiences with the goal to make stronger connections to nature- a perfect fit with Girl Scouts.
