Girl Scout First Headquarters — Attraction in Savannah

While nice to have this property on the map as a Girl Scout destination and shop, the public shouldn’t enter with great expectations. Poor quality history presentation has few items to show, lacking color in display or description with some old uniforms and posters. Seems like a display stuck in the ‘70’s Notable lack in this first floor museum room of any appreciation for volunteer leaders growing the organization, innovative and courageous early scouts that went on to bigger leadership contributions, coverage of creative projects, growth of camp infrastructure and experiences, troop trips, etc that could give information and inspiration to visitors.

Original review. They were closed on 11/5/2016 a day they were supposed to be open, at least they had a sign out unlike the...

We came here on a Girl Scout trip from Utah and were excited to see where GS all began. We visited our brick in the courtyard and experienced the tour in the museum. We had a great time and learned a lot, however, the tour guide spoke very fast and kind of slurred so it was hard to follow at times and the front desk woman was not the friendliest. Not sure if that’s a Georgia thing, but we expected a little more enthusiasm and a...
