Tybee Vacation Rentals Concierge and Tybee Information Site

Bringing a Girl Scout troop to the area? Let me make some suggestions on an itinerary. These can be combined, subtracted from or added to depending on your needs.

First, I suggest you stay at the beach. Any scout would LOVE the beach, and you can rent a house with a kitchen, living room, TV and so forth. The kitchen can save you money on meals as you can cook your own. Maybe have the girls earn a badge by cooking in the kitchen. Why eat pizza at the foot of the bed!!!! Come to the beach and rent a house. Call Tybee Vacation Rentals at 877.214.7353.

Day 1 - arrive and check in – probably go down to beach as girls will want to see it. We have an Arby’s on the island where you can eat. Not sure about your budget but we have some fun places to eat, as well. I will list those at the end of this blog.

Day 2 -  Continue Reading »

On March 12, 2012 Savannah and the world will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the Girl Scouts. Juliet Gordon Low founded the group in Savannah, Georgia on March 12, 1912 after Sir Baden Powell refused to let her group join the Boy Scouts. He suggested she start a similar group for girls, and she did.

A remarkable woman, Ms. Low could do everything, they say, but Continue Reading »

On March 12, 2012 Savannah and the world will celebrate the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Girl Scouts. A Savannah native, Ms. Juliet Gordon Low started the now famous group in her carriage house with 18 young girls, including her niece, Daisy. From that small group a world-wide, worthy organization came into being and made a difference in hundreds of lives.

Were you a Scout? Why not make plans to come to Savannah to celebrate. Get your old troop back together and make it a girl’s weekend. Visit the founding place, Juliet’s girlhood home, her haunts, her homes and her churches. Hear her stories, feel her presence in her gardens and see her art.

Tales of the South can put together a great weekend for your group that focuses on Scouting. And you can stay at the beach which is only 20 minutes away from Savannah, and get the best of both worlds. Tybee Vacation Rentals can set you up in a home or condo that no matter where you stay, you are only minutes from a beach and only 20 minutes from Girl Scout history.
