From the Birth <strong>of</strong> <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong>ing to the World <strong>Centers</strong><br />
The Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace (juliettegordonlowbirthplace.org) in Savannah, Georgia, is a fantastic<br />
place for <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong> Juniors and older to visit. Reservations and GSGATL approval are required to take a troop<br />
<strong>of</strong> girls to visit the birthplace, and most educational opportunities are booked at least a year in advance, so<br />
book early! Families and individuals, however, do not need to reserve a tour in advance.<br />
In addition, four lodges are available in England, Mexico, Switzerland, and India for use by <strong>Girl</strong> Guides<br />
and <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong>s, each with hostel- or dormitory-style accommodations. These centers are operated by<br />
WAGGGS (World Association <strong>of</strong> <strong>Girl</strong> Guides and <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong>s) and o�er low-cost accommodations and<br />
special programs. They are also a great way to meet <strong>Girl</strong> Guides and <strong>Girl</strong> <strong>Scout</strong>s from around the world.<br />
Visit wagggsworld.org for more information.<br />
Closer to home, check with GSGATL to see whether GSGATL-owned camps and other facilities can be<br />
rented out to the troop <strong>of</strong> girls with which you’re working.<br />
