Abstract:

In 1920, Ernestine Forbes and Novella Moye organized the first Girl Scout Group in Greenville. Other groups soon followed and were sponsored and organized by local churches, schools, and clubs. Groups have continually participated in fundraising, clean-up work, sales, and parties. 1939 saw the first Girl Scout Advisory Council, and in 1941, Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt came to Greenville and met the local Girl Scout Groups. In 1942, the black Girl Scout Leadership Association was formed as well.
