Calling all Girl Scouts, Girl Guides, and Alums from Around the World!

After two years of virtual Girl Scout QuestFest® in 2020 and 2021, QuestFest® returns in-person to Savannah!

It's going to be an exciting weekend in Savannah, GA on July 14-17, 2022 when Girl Scout QuestFest® (as you know it) celebrates its final year! You're invited to join your Girl Scout and Girl Guide sisters from around the world as you Quest & Fest together in-person and virtually for the last time.

Meet new friends and catch up with the old. Make those memories count and last! And don't miss the chance to party in Savannah, the birthplace of Girl Scouts, for their 110th Birthday! Oh! And did we mention you could win cash prizes?!!

QuestFest® 2022 is ready with all the fun - all that's missing is YOU!

After a full day of Questing, the Festing continues Saturday night when the QuestFest winners receive their prizes at the 'Big Reveal' Closing Ceremony, featuring a not-to-be-missed concert by pop singer/songwriter and Girl Scout Lifetime Member Kristina Lachaga, "The Girl With The Big Pink Heart™."

Lachaga will headline the in-person concert (which will also feature a livestream broadcast for virtual participants). Lachaga will also host a variety of events throughout QuestFest weekend, including her QuestFest Slumber Party for virtual participants and her signature QuestFest Team - Team #Heartbreaker - that Girl Scouts & Girl Guides can join to Quest & Fest with "The Girl With The Big Pink Heart™".

Lachaga, a Girl Scout Lifetime Member, serves as a role model in the Girl Scout and Girl Guide sisterhood that the girls aspire to emulate. This champion for girls empowers them through her #FollowYourHeartsDream™ message both on and off the stage.

Lachaga is thrilled to bring her energetic & girl-powered stage performance back to Savannah for 2022.

For in-person Savannah QuestFesters, there's even more to do in addition to "Questing"! Join Girl Scouts at Savannah's Historic Grayson Stadium for a night of baseball and fun with the Savannah Bananas, hop aboard a special Girl Scout cruise and discover the wonders of the Georgia coast, participate in one of the largest bridging celebrations in the nation across the Savannah River on the iconic Talmadge Bridge, get a taste of southern-style Girl Scout camping on an island with Spanish moss and palm trees at Camp Low. And then, there's the city of Savannah to explore with all it has to offer!

Don't miss out! Late Registration for QuestFest® closes June 10th, 2022. Register online to participate in QuestFest® 2022 in-person in Savannah, Georgia or virtually with the "Play-from-Anywhere" ticket: https://www.gsquestfest.org

About QuestFest:

What exactly is QuestFest?

The "Quest" in QuestFest® stands for our main event, a scavenger hunt! For 2022 we will have both a Savannah game (in person) and a Play-from-Anywhere game (virtual) for you so you can quest with us in Savannah OR from anywhere in the world!

The twist? Both competitive and non-competitive teams are searching for experiences, not items. Using a smartphone, tablet, or computer, your team will choose challenges, submit photographic evidence and receive points via our QuestFest® app. The more creative a submission, the more points awarded! Make sure to think outside of the box because the winning competitive teams receive great cash prizes! The best part of the whole thing? The challenges, or QUESTS, are designed with Girl Scout values in mind, so while we are having fun, we will also be making the world a better place!

The Quests are top secret until the event kicks off at the opening ceremony, but there are a few things you can do to prepare:

• Make sure that at least one team member has a smart phone or tablet with data or Wi-Fi capabilities. Don't forget: you can use a laptop/desktop computer to submit quests!

• One or two people from your team will need to be familiar with Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.

• It is all about strategy! The teams that win have a good plan in place. Although your team can't really decide on a plan of attack until the Quest starts, leaders and parents can start thinking about how they want to facilitate a strategy session with their girls.

Loved seeing members of Team #Heartbreaker completing their Quests while camping in Colorado...look at all those friendship bracelets they made for a Quest! (Full QuestFest points, alert!! YAY)

Team Southern Belles ready to be the belle of the QuestFest Ball!

Team Triple Trouble in Colorado raising a ruckus (and earning a lot of QuestFest points while doing so!)

STEM Quests x Girl Scouts is always a great (and fun!) idea!

Questing while out & about - never miss a chance to turn a quick trip to CVS on QuestFest® Day into QuestFest® points!
