About Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia

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, serving 8,000 girls and 4,000 adults in 122 counties in Georgia, two counties in South Carolina, and one county in Alabama. Across Georgia, Girl Scouts discover who they are, tap into the power inside them, and build the confidence to let it shine. Girls of all backgrounds and abilities come as they are and create their own paths. Each step becomes a part of the journey, and along the way, they explore their passions, develop hands-on skills, and discover the tools they need to lead with joy, on their own terms. Challenges don’t stop Girl Scouts. They discover their strengths in science labs and on hiking trails, at cookie booths and in front of city councils. Backed by volunteers, mentors, and millions of alums, they are part of a lifelong sisterhood of powerful change-makers who are always on their side.

The world deserves to see Girl Scouts’ full potential—and they deserve to experience it.

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.

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.

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 Scouts of Historic Georgia

Where to Place Insignia You’re proud of what you’ve achieved. Your Girl Scout uniform shows how much you’ve accomplished—and that you’re ready for what’s next. And each part of your Girl Scout uniform is as unique as you are. Girl Scouts from each grade level have one official uniform item (a sash, vest, or tunic) to display badges, pins, awards, and other insignia. This item is required when you participate in ceremonies or officially represent Girl Scouts.

You can wear your sash, vest, or tunic over official Girl Scout gear or over a white shirt and khaki pants or skirt. Depending on grade level, official uniform items may be blue, brown, green, or khaki.

Registration Registration is required by the published deadline for all events, unless indicated otherwise in the event description. Some events are free to attend, but we collect registrations to help get an idea of how many people will be attending the event (especially if we need to order food!) Most registrations close two weeks before the event takes place - we need this time to order supplies, finalize our attendee lists, email confirmations, and ensure the event goes as smoothly as possible. Please do not wait until the last minute to register , as events may be canceled if interest is low. If you have registered for an event that gets canceled, we will send you a cancellation email. Registrations for vendor operated programs vary and are outlined in the event descriptions. Complete registration and payment in full will be processed in the order in which it is received. How To Register For Programs Online registration is fast and easy for both individual girls and/or troops. To register for an event, visit www.gshg.org, and click the “Calendar” icon on the top right to locate your event. (Events are listed in chronological order.) Click on the event name which will open the event page. Once you’re there, click on the “Register Now” button to register for the event. Registrations will not be processed until payment is received in full. Payments can be made by Visa or MasterCard, check, or Cookie Points. Cookie Points must be presented in person or mailed to the council office for processing. Confirmations will be emailed to the email address provided in the registration.

How to Find Our Programs Online:

There are two ways to find programs happening across our council’s footprint. You can view them on our website or on myGS.

Find Programs on Our Website

Look for this icon!

You can see all of the events in this Program Guide on our website (as long as the date hasn’t passed). You can view upcoming events on the homepage of our website, as well as on our event calendar! To view all of our events, just click the “Calendar” icon in the top right corner of the website to see our events listings for the entire membership year.

All of our programs are named in a very specific way:

Program Name - City Name - Region Number

For example, if you saw an event titled, “Adulting 101 - Martinez - Region 2” You would know that the Adulting 101 program is in Region 2 (Augusta), but specifically in Martinez!

Please note: The search box on the events page does not filter by ZIP code; it searches by keyword.

Did you know that if you type in www.gshg.org/events it will take you right to our events?!

Find Programs on myGS

Look for this icon!

When logged into your myGS account, there is a way to find Girl Scouts events near you - this is an awesome tool because it will also show you events from our neighboring councils if you live near them!

This search engine requires your zip code and a distance radius to help populate the events nearby.

When searching for events in myGS, please be mindful that most of our programs are going to take place at one of our properties (listed on page 7). So, if you live 20 miles from one of our properties and have your distance set to 10 miles, no programs will populate. We recommend bookmarking www.gshg.org/events so you don’t miss out on the fun!

All of our programs are named in a very specific way:

Program Name - City Name - Region Number

For example, if you saw an event titled, “Catch on to Cadettes - Athens - Region 1” You would know that the Catch on to Cadettes program is in Region 1 (Athens/Gainesville), but specifically in Athens!

If you see a link, that means this event is already on our website and myGS and you can register* for it right now by clicking on it! *As long as the registration deadline hasn’t passed!
