“Licensed to Lead” road trip sends Girl Scouts across the state to close out summer break in sisterhood style
ATLANTA and SAVANNAH, Ga., July 29, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — As summer break winds down, Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta (GSGATL) and Girl Scouts of Historic Georgia (GSHG) are sending girls off with one last adventure: a summer road trip, celebrating the launch and pre-order availability of the new State of Georgia Girl Scouts specialty license plate. On Wednesday, July 29, 2026, a group of Girl Scouts, alongside GSGATL CEO Jai Ferrell will travel from Atlanta to Savannah, driving Girl Scout pride the whole way and earning their Car Care Badge along the route.
The one-day journey, part of the councils’ “Licensed to Lead” campaign, kicks off at the newly opened Trefoil Trail Mural on 17th Street in Midtown Atlanta and concludes at the Girl Scout First Headquarters (330 Drayton Street) in Savannah.
“Girl Scouting began here in Georgia, and it’s fitting that girls from across our state are helping drive this campaign forward,” said Jai Ferrell, CEO of Girl Scouts of Greater Atlanta. “This road trip is about much more than traveling from Atlanta to Savannah. It’s a celebration of the incredible girls we serve across Georgia and a reminder that all girls deserve the opportunity to discover her strengths, build confidence, and not only celebrate who she will become, but the amazing person she already is.”
“When you see our Girl Scout Trefoil license plate, you’re seeing more than a tag – you’re seeing someone who believes in the limitless potential of girls,” said GSHG CEO Krystal Crawford. “Every plate is a commitment to building courageous leaders, stronger communities, and a brighter future for Georgia. There is no greater investment than believing in our girls.”
The traveling group will include two Girl Scouts from GSGATL: Isabella Moore (age 15) and Makenna McMillian (age 14). Throughout the trip, the girls will work toward their Car Care Badge, learning hands-on vehicle maintenance and road-trip readiness skills tied directly to the license plate’s celebration of Girl Scout pride on the open road.
The Girl Scouts Georgia specialty license plate directly benefits Girl Scout programming statewide. Georgia motorists are encouraged to pre-order the plate now at girlscoutsatl.org/licenseplate for a one-time $25 tag manufacturing fee, or $50 to reserve a low-number plate. Plates will be available in 2027, and pre-order holders will simply pick up their plate and pay the standard annual registration and specialty tag fees when they renew. Every pre-order helps get the plate on the road and directly supports Girl Scout programming across Georgia.
