About GSHG

At Girl Scouts, girls will prepare for a lifetime of leadership, success, and adventure in a safe, no-limits place designed for and by girls! At Girl Scouts, she’ll get to lead her own adventure (it’s her world!) and team up with other girls in an all-girl environment to choose the exciting, hands-on activities that interest her most. Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia is rich in heritage and purpose. The council extends from the North Georgia mountains to the Okefenokee and from the Atlantic coast to the Chattahoochee Valley. Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia serves more than 11,000 girls and 5,000 adults in 122 counties in Georgia, two counties in South Carolina and one county in Alabama. The council is also the home of our organization’s founder, Juliette Gordon Low, who founded Girl Scouts on March 12, 1912 in Savannah, Georgia, where her birthplace and the historic First Headquarters still welcome thousands of Girl Scouts every year. Girl Scouting gives girls a wide range of experiences to define leadership their way and allows them to showcase their inner G.I.R.L. (Go-getter, Innovator, Risk-taker, Leader) TM

The Girl Scout Promise: On my honor, I will try: To serve God* and my country, To help people at all times, And to live by the Girl Scout Law. The Girl Scout Law: I will do my best to be honest and fair, friendly and helpful, considerate and caring, courageous and strong, and responsible for what I say and do, and to respect myself and others, respect authority, use resources wisely, make the world a better place, and be a sister to every Girl Scout. * Members may substitute for the word God in accordance with their own spiritual beliefs

At Girl Scout camp, she’ll belong. By choosing Girl scout camp this summer you’ll help her discover her best self, wild and free, among the wildflowers. Get started today, browsing through the camp happenings, together. No matter what she decides, she’ll find an adventure of a lifetime.
