Our Program Program

Guide KeyAt Girl Scouts, your girl will prepare for a lifetime of leadership, success, and adventure in a safe, no-limits place designed for and by girls!

How?

Through the Girl Scout Leadership Experience—a collection of engaging, challenging, and fun activities. She will gain important skills in four areas that form the foundation of the Girl Scout Leadership Experience.

In addition to our numerous GSLPG program events that older girls can participate in, we have created a mix of exciting experiences and skill-building activities that will directly impact Cadettes, Seniors and Ambassadors. Savannah QuestFest

The Savannah QuestFest is an annual event, hosted by the Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia, which draws in hundreds of Girl Scouts each year. Girls sign up in teams and compete by completing Quests throughout the city of Savannah, GA! GSLPG is providing financial assistance to send a team of Girl Scouts to next year’s QuestFest, set for July 18-21.Girls from across the council will train together via online and face-to-face retreats. Fun online trainings will be held monthly. Face-to-face retreats will be scheduled twice leading up to the Quest and dependent upon the schedules of the girls chosen for the Team.Learn more about the Savannah Quest at gsquestfest.org and keep a lookout for applications on the G.I.R.L. Academy tab on the GSLPG website.
