Historical Note
Girl Scouts of America was a youth organization founded in 1912 as a counterpart to Boy Scouts of America. Its purpose was to promote character and self-esteem in young women. The organization sought to develop leadership skills in girls and to model leadership by women in its own structure. In 2006 there were 312 individual councils in the United States which were re-structured by the National Board of Directors into 109 councils, at which point the Girl Scout Councils of Wyoming and Montana were combined.
