DescriptionGirl Scouting has a long, proud history. The Girl Scout Movement began on March 12, 1912 in Savannah, Georgia. Our founder, Juliette Gordon Low recognized the fun, friendship, and power of girls growing together. She started this organization with a phone call she made to her friend where she said, “I have something wonderful for the girls of Savannah and for all of America…and we are starting it tonight.” That was 94 years ago - Juliette was an amazing woman and was very much ahead of her time. We still honor her values and her teachings today. Our membership is part of a regional organization called a council. The first Girl Scout troop was organized in Tulsa in 1917 and was called the Sunflower Troop. In 1923, the first Council in Tulsa (called the Tulsa Girl Scout Council) was started with 15 troops, 21 leaders and 190 Girl Scouts. In 1956, Magic Empire Council was developed and was the largest council in the state of Oklahoma. On June 1, 2008 Girl Scouts of Eastern Oklahoma was formed by uniting Bluestem, Tiak, and Magic Empire Councils to create a new high-capacity, high-performance council. Tulsa is now the epicenter of a contemporary Girl Scout program embracing 30 counties and 30,000 square miles of Oklahoma communities.
