Girl Scout Heritage Visit for Troops
The Juliette Gordon Low Birthplace is an exciting destination for Girl Scout troops from across the country and around the world. We believe your Girl Scout Heritage Visit travel experience will help you discover, connect and take action and will be an important part of the new Girl Scout leadership experience when you return home.
Our popular Girl Scout Heritage Visit is offered for Girl Scout Junior through Girl Scout Ambassador troops by reservation only. The Birthplace is currently taking reservations for 2009 - 2011. On October 1, 2010, we will begin taking 2012 reservations. Weekends, spring break, and June dates tend to fill up quickly. Fall and winter dates require less advance notice. Please check out our reservation form to inquire about the earliest date convenient for your troop or group and before making travel, accommodations or activity reservations.
