NOTE FROM THE CEO

GIRL SCOUTS OF HISTORIC GEORGIA WELCOMES YOU!

Even though we’re not together in person, we’re thrilled that you’re joining us virtually for QuestFest 2020!
Get ready for two days of excitement, service, innovation, friendship, and best of all - fun!

While you’re spending the weekend with us virtually, we hope you’ll take on each Quest with Juliette
Gordon Low’s courage, curiosity and sense of adventure. We know you’ll make memories that will last a
lifetime and friends from all over the world that will share them with you.

We look forward to seeing you next year in Savannah, the home of Girl Scouting. We can’t wait to see
your smiling faces next summer for an action-packed event!

It’s time to get questing!
