This summer, Girl Scouts from around the country will travel to historic Savannah for an adventure unlike any other. Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia (GSHG) will host QuestFest 2019, a weekend of fun adventures, challenges and entertainment from July 18-21, in the home of where it all began. This is the third year that GSHG has hosted the event, and it keeps getting bigger and better.

New Alum Track Added; GSUSA CEO to attend

There’s something new this year! It doesn’t matter whether she was a Girl Scout for one year or 10 years! All Girl Scout alums are invited back to the historic home of Girl Scouting in Savannah for this exciting one-of-a-kind opportunity to reconnect with past troop members and make new Girl Scout connections. Another exciting addition this year is the attendance of Girl Scout USA CEO - and our resident rocket scientist – Sylvia Acevedo, who will speak during the alum luncheon.

“We are more than thrilled to welcome Girl Scouts and alums to the place where Juliette Gordon Low started Girl Scouts 107 years ago,” said Sue Else, GSHG CEO. “Girls from near and far travel to Savannah every year and QuestFest allows them to learn about the history of Savannah and Girl Scouts, while walking along the same paths as our great founder. We are also honored that our national CEO, Slyvia Acevedo, will be joining us to interact with girls and make a special presentation to some of our alums. They won’t want to miss it.”

What is QuestFest anyway

All Girl Scouts can join the “Quest” – a scavenger hunt of epic proportion through the Historic District of Savannah. Teams will set out in search of an experience, rather than an item. Using a smart phone, teams will choose from a list of challenges, and submit a photo or video via the unique QuestFest app as evidence of their accomplishment. The “Fest” is the cherry on top of an amazing weekend of Questing. When not racing, teams can enjoy lots of other weekend festivities, including a Girl Scout Expo, dinner cruise down the Savannah River, an unforgettable Bridging experience over the Talmadge Bridge, and s’more fun at Girl Scout Camp Low.
