Today, we make history!

We are officially Girl Scouts-Western Oklahoma, Inc. -- a merger of Red Lands Council and Sooner Council. It is a new page in our history which began....

The council, organized in 1935 as the Girls Scouts Council of Oklahoma City, was chartered by Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. the same year. The name was changed to Red Lands Council of Girl Scouts in 1964 and then to Girl Scouts – Red Lands Council in 2000. The Council is governed by a 26 member Board representing our service area and includes leaders from the community, business industry, Girl Scout volunteers and two girl members.

Juliette "Daisy" Gordon Low assembled 18 girls from Savannah, Georgia, on March 12, 1912, for a local Girl Scout meeting. She believed that all girls should be given the opportunity to develop physically, mentally, and spiritually. With the goal of bringing girls out of isolated home environments and into community service and the open air, Girl Scouts hiked, played basketball, went on camping trips, learned how to tell time by the stars, and studied first aid.

Within a few years, Daisy's dream for a girl-centered organization was realized. Today, Girl Scouting has a membership of nearly four million girls and adults, a significant growth from its modest beginnings nearly a century ago. In fact, more than 50 million women in the U.S. today are Girl Scout alumnae. We invite you to learn about our robust organization and its rich history. From our willingness to tackle important societal issues, to our commitment to diversity and inclusiveness—Girl Scouts is dedicated to every girl, everywhere.
