Girl Scouts They’ve been in Griffin since 1914 The founder of Girl Scouting was an outstanding Georgian- Juliette Gordon Low, known affectionately as “Daisy”. Juliette Low was fifty (50) years old when her travels brought her into contact with Sir Robert Baden-Powell who had founded the Boy Scout movement in England in 1908. When Juliette Low returned to her home in Savannah, she was quite excited about starting a movement for girls. She organized the first Girl Scout Troop on March 12,1912. In 1913, the first handbook was published under the title “How Girls Can Help Their Country.” An interesting excerpt from this book is the requirements for a cyclist badge: “Must own her bicycle; be able to mend a tire; must pledge herself to give the service of her bicycle to the government in case of need. If she ceases to own a bicycle, she must return the badge.” A uniform was chosen—dark blue with a light blue tie.

A national organization was formed with headquarters in Savannah and the name formally changed to Girl Scouts. Early records indicate that the first troop organized within the 14-county jurisdiction of the Pine Valley Council was the Lone Troop 429 in Griffin in 1914. However, in about 1916, Miss Rosabel Newton was a leader and in her troop were Dolly Brooks, Julia Woodruff, Douglas Montgomery, and Alice (Gal) Searcy. A year or two later, Mrs. Gertrude McDowell Scott became a leader. Some of the early Girl Scouts were: Mrs. W.L. Joiner, Mrs. H.J Copeland, Mrs. George C. Gaissert, Mrs. Jack Flynt, Mrs. Charlie Smith, Mrs. E.S. McDowell, Mrs. Charles Patterson, Mrs. N.H. Bailey, Mrs. Orvill Turner, Mrs. Louis Beck, Mrs. Zollie Ison and .. Mrs. Clyde Nichels. Until 1958 lone troops in many counties, and the other remaining councils, acted independently to offer girls the Gril Scout Program. In that year, the Pine Valley Council was formed. The council became responsible for all the programs of the Pineland Council of West Georgia, Chattahoochee Valley Area Council, and the Spalding County Council. Also, in 1958 the counties of Fayette, Henry, Butts, Pike and Lamar became a part of the Pine Valley Council. In 1968, the Pine Valley Girl Scout Council was rounded out to 14 counties with the addition of Coweta Girl Scout Council. Today the Pine Valley Council serves over 4,000 girls and adults. In the Red Pine Association which consists of Pike, Lamar, and Spalding Counties, there were 733 girls and 151 adults registered in December 1976.
