Historical Note
The first Girl Scouts troop in Wichita was organized in 1921, and, by 1925, the Wichita Girl Scout Council was formed, directing the activities of the many troops in the city. In the 1950s the Council expanded its region to include all troops in Sedgwick County, changing its name to the Wichita Area Girl Scout Council. In 2001 the organization was renamed and rechartered as the Girl Scouts of the Golden Plains. Six Girl Scout councils ‒ in Emporia, Garden City, Hays, Hutchinson, Salina and Wichita ‒ merged in October 2007 to become Girl Scouts of Kansas Heartland headquartered in Wichita.
