Our Girl Scout Troop Traveled to Georgia for a summer trip and worked on the High Tech Hide and Seek IPP. Please be a sister to every Girl Scout and help us maintain this cache by letting us know if it needs attention. This is a very important Cache for our organization and means a lot to us to be placed here not only for Girl Scouts but for anyone who has eaten a Girl Scout cookie and sent a girl to camp! This Historical monument is usually advertised to Girl Scouts on the guided tours but we want everyone to know who we are and what we stand for. Juliette Gordon Low, "Daisy," was the founder of the Girl Scouts of America. She came back from England and called her cousin Nina and said "I have something for the girls of Savannah, all of America and all the world and we're going to start it tonight." Thus on March 12, 1912 - The first Girl Scout troop in the U.S.A. was registered in Savannah, Georgia, by Juliette Low at the Louisa Porter home. The former carriage house at 330 Drayton St. behind the garden of the Low home became the First Headquarters for the new organization. The Girl Scout First Headquarters was willed to the Girl Scouts of Savannah upon Juliette's death in 1927. The building was in continuous use for Girl Scout Troop activities, adult training, and administrative offices from 1912 until 1985, when the staff moved the Council office to 428 Bull Street. The Junior League of Savannah leased the building while the Council determined how it could be utilized best. On January 15, 1996 the First Headquarters building reopened to the public as a Girl Scout museum, program center and Council shop. It offers exciting interactive educational experiences for Girl Scouts and the community.
