Our Council
We’re here to help them shine.
Behind every Girl Scout and volunteer is a team of local staff ready to help them earn that next badge, embark on a camping adventure, or organize an impactful Take Action project. That’s what a Girl Scout council is.
We serve nearly 7,000 girls throughout southeastern Virginia and northeastern North Carolina, with the guidance of more than 4,000 dedicated and trained volunteers. We create opportunities for girls to discover their own potential, connect with their peers and adult mentors, and take action in big ways. Their growth is our goal.
If you are a girl looking for a place to fit in and have fun, an adult who wants to volunteer to make a real difference in girls’ lives, or a corporation, foundation, organization or individual who wants to support the good work of Girl Scouts, you’ve come to the right place!
Historical Highlights of the Girl Scouts of the Colonial Coast
This booklet includes historical highlights of Girl Scouting, both nationally and locally. Research was done by the Council Archives Committee. Information was taken from annual reports, newspaper articles and other archival documents. The events highlighted are in chronological order. Trends in program are summarized to give readers an idea of how Girl Scouts has met the needs and interests of girls and adults it serves over the years. Within the book, you will also find brief summaries of important camps. As you travel through the years with us, we hope you will gain an appreciation of the Girl Scout legacy and the impact it has had on so many lives through generations.
