Girl Scout Troop 1302 (with 50 girls and adults) made their way to Savannah, GA from June 5-8. The main reason for the trip was for the girls to see where Girl Scouting with Juliette Low all began. The girls toured the house and also did a couple sessions in the house. Many adults took a tour of the house then all met in the courtyard for a pinning ceremony for the girls. They were pinned with a special pin they could only receive if they visited Juliette Low’s house.
The next day found all meeting at Tybee Island and taking a dolphin cruise. Many dolphins were sighted as well as seeing lighthouses and enjoying many jokes with the tour guide.
Then, there were different sites to see and tours to take in Savannah and beach time on Tybee. Also, while on Tybee, some of the girls got a closer view of the lighthouse as well as time on the beach. Then headed back in Savannah, where there were tours of the city, ghost tours, visits to the cemetery to see Juliette’s gravesite, strolls along the riverside, some good food (and ice cream) throughout the city and just getting an appreciation for a new city and learning about the past.
Many thanks to the leaders for organizing the trip. Also, thanks to all who supported the scouts with buying their sales of nuts, candy and cookies. The girls returned home and will now start planning ways and events to save for their next trip with their troop.
