DAY 3 A WALK ON THE WILD SIDE: Located just east of Savannah on a marsh island, The Oatland Island Wildlife Center features a two-mile Native Animal Nature Trail that winds through maritime forest, salt marsh and freshwater wetlands. More than 40 programs are available to students and troops to study endangered species and organism classification. SHACK ATTACK: Troops will love The Crab Shack at Chimney Creek, a signature restaurant boasting a live alligator exhibit and exotic bird sanctuary. Girls can share a large seafood platter loaded with shrimp, crab legs, smoked sausage, potatoes, corn on the cob and more. EARN YOUR BADGE AT THE TYBEE ISLAND MARINE SCIENCE CENTER: From a beach walk to a Coastal Gallery tour, the troops have endless options to earn badges. One of the most popular ways to earn badges is through the two-hour Coastal Georgia Badge Program. Check out the Marine Science Center's website to learn more. TAKE A DOLPHIN TOUR: Several companies in the Savannah area offer dolphin and eco-adventure tours. Watch dolphins at play and egrets catching fish right alongside your boat. Tybee Beach Ecology Trips, walking tours of marine life along the coast, are offered year-round by marine biologist Dr. Joe Richardson. ANDREW LOW HOUSE: The Andrew Low House is a stunning 3-story 19th-century mansion built for Low and his wife Mary Cowper Stiles Low and their six children, including William Mackay Low. William married Juliette Gordon Low, who would later begin the Girl Scouts of America. After the death of William in 1905, Gordon Low used the carriage house to form the original Girl Scouts Headquarters in 1912. EVENING GHOST TOUR: Discover why Savannah continues to be called "America's Most Haunted City"! There are numerous spooky options to choose from, including walking tours in the Historic District and ghostly trolley tours that will provide a spirited evening event for your troop.
