Description
COUNCIL JURISDICTION:
Dogwood Trails Girl Scout Council, Inc. was chartered in its present jurisdiction in 1955 by Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. The council serves southwest and south central Missouri in 25 counties: Barry, Camden, Cedar, Christian, Dade, Dallas, Dent, Douglas, Greene, Hickory, Howell, Laclede, Lawrence, Oregon, Ozark, Phelps, Polk, Pulaski, St. Clair, Shannon, Stone, Taney, Texas, Webster, and Wright counties; an area of over 17,000 miles. Council services are coordinated through the Girl Scout Service Center in Springfield and program centers located in Rolla and West Plains, Missouri. Finbrooke Outdoor Center, our Girl Scout Camp that serves girls and adults in a year-round outdoor education program, is located near Rogersville, Missouri on the banks of the beautiful Finley River.
1997 MEMBERSHIP SUMMARY:
In 1997, a total of almost 6,800 girls enjoyed Girl Scouting in Dogwood Trails Girl Scout Council, thanks to the efforts of almost 2,300 superb volunteers and a dedicated professional staff. The number of girls increased from the previous year by 183 girls and the number of adults increased from the previous year by 122 adults. The volunteers were given a "Mission: Possible" challenge to reach out and serve 10% more girls in 1997. Fourteen of our thirty-eight service units met that goal while 21 showed an increase over the year before! For the 1997-1998 year the theme, "Our Future's So Bright, We Gotta Wear Shades", kicked off our membership drive and we hope to continue to reach even more girls in the coming year.
"Early Bird" registration was introduced for the first time in 1997, allowing troops to register in the Spring and avoid the Fall rush. A total of 81 troops responded, with 591 girls and 238 adults registering as early birds.
