Bridging Savannah's Bridge
Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia Bridging Savannah's Bridge offers participants to take part in a one-of-a-kind celebration.
This unforgettable event takes the traditional Girl Scout bridging ceremony and elevated it—literally—by crossing Savannah’s iconic Talmadge Memorial Bridge. Spanning more than two miles and reaching 185 feet above the Savannah River, the experience is unlike any other in Girl Scouting.
We go big—and we want YOU there.
Girl Scouts, past and present, from across the country are invited to Savannah—the historic hometown of our founder, Juliette Gordon Low—for a celebration of achievement, sisterhood, and Girl Scout history.
We will update you on our next Bridging opportunity based on the construction schedule for the historic Talmadge Bridge, which will undergo construction.
Thank you to our 2025 presenting sponsor, Publix Charities, and our other generous sponsors!
