Next month, Girl Scouts from across the region will have the opportunity to train alongside experts from Chatham Emergency Management Agency and other local first responders to learn how to operate emergency radios, process evidence, triage injuries, and even fly drones.

It’s all part of Camp Operation: REACT, a collaboration between Chatham County, Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia (GSHG) and Memorial Health University Medical Center to give Girl Scouts in seventh through ninth grade a hands-on look at what it means to lead during a crisis.

Scheduled for June 1 -5 at Camp Low in Savannah, the camp will also serve as a kick-off to the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season, which begins June 1. Recently, CEMA and GSHG leaders joined The Chat Podcast for a special three-part series to discuss the unique opportunity the camp provides.

Spots are still available! Sign up here: https://www.gshg.org/
