In 1924, Mrs. A. F. Leifeld made the initial contact with the National Headquarters regarding the formation of the Bexar County Council of Girl Scouts. The organization was created after a meeting in the Menger Hotel in San Antonio attended by interested citizens and Miss Pauline Wherry, a representative of Girl Scouts of the U.S.A. At this time there were four Girl Scout troops in San Antonio, the minimum number required for the organization of a council. The council of Girl Scouts was formed to provide a supportive environment for its members to increase their self-awareness, improve relations with others, develop meaningful values and contribute to the betterment of society. The name changed in 1949 to San Antonio and Bexar County Council of Girl Scouts. In 1966 the council became known as the San Antonio Area Council of Girl Scouts, and expanded its jurisdiction to include the counties of Kerr, Atascosa, Bandera, Frio, Kendall, Medina and Wilson. In 2007, 4 councils joined together to become the Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas, which serves 21 counties. The new jurisdiction includes the following counties: Atascosa, Bandera, Bexar, Frio, Kendall, Kerr, Medina, and Wilson from the San Antonio Area jurisdiction; Edwards, Dimmit, Kimble, Kinney, Maverick, Real, Uvalde, Val Verde, and Zavala from El Camino Council jurisdiction; Comal, Gonzales, and Guadalupe from Lone Star Council jurisdiction; and Karnes from Tip of Texas Council, now Girl Scouts of Greater South Texas jurisdiction.
Starting in 1926 summer camps were held in the Texas cities of New Braunfels, Boerne, Bandera and Comfort. The first permanent camps were not created until the late 1940's. Camp La Jita (Utopia, Texas) was created in 1947 after Mr. and Mrs. John F. Camp donated the land to the Area Council. In 1949, Camp Mira Sol (Waring, Texas) was purchased with the help of public donations for use as a camp for African-American girls, the first such camp in the Southwest. In 1952 Camp Cookie (Helotes, Texas) was purchased from that year's cookie sale profits. The property of Norma Friedrich Ward was willed to the council in 1971, and used for the creation of an activity center, which opened the following year. In 1982 Camp Mira Sol closed and later reopened as KIDS (Kids With Individual Differences) Camp. This became the first residential camp in the San Antonio area without restrictions on girls and boys with mental or physical disabilities.
The San Antonio Area Council of Girl Scouts’ early headquarters was located in the Houston Building at 6146 Garfield. In 1957 the headquarters moved into the historic Groos Home at 335 King William Street, which was purchased with cookie sale funds. The new headquarters was renamed Martha Manor in honor of Mrs. John C. Camp’s granddaughter. Amid considerable resistance from some members, Martha Manor was sold in 1981. In 1984 the headquarters was moved to 10433 Gulfdale, its current location.
The San Antonio Council of Girl Scouts caters to girls aged seven to seventeen, and includes several annual events in their program. Rallies are held every year in an attempt to increase membership and establish positive public relations with the community. These rallies usually include educational seminars attended by the girls and their parents. During the annual Fiesta holiday in San Antonio, local troops produce floats for competition in the Shoe Box Floats Parade and participate in a pilgrimage to the Alamo. During the annual charity event, Helping Hands Day, members collect items door-to-door to benefit the Salvation Army Adult Rehabilitation Center of San Antonio.
Various administrative changes occurred within the Area Council during the 1980's, due in part to major transitions within the national Girl Scouts Organization. Nationally, council policies and procedures were examined and changed to accommodate existing Affirmative Action regulations and a more corporate-oriented system. These actions in turn caused similar changes in the local council.

The records of the San Antonio Area Council of Girl Scouts document the organization through correspondence, minutes, reports, photographs, scrapbooks and printed materials. The materials present a complete picture of administrative activities carried out by board and committee members. In this respect, the records show major changes that occurred within the organization over time. The collection is strong in offering information on the Area Council’s programs and activities, which include events in San Antonio and camp activities in the surrounding area. The bulk of the events covered occurred from the 1970’s to 1990’s. A number of the events in San Antonio were concerned with public outreach and with raising awareness of the organization within the community. Also present are details of the organization’s properties acquired over the years through purchase and bequests. The collection is separated into five series: Administrative Records, Committees, Printed Materials, Scrapbooks and Photographic and Sound Materials.
Administrative Records document the everyday operation of the organization. These materials identify the organizational transitions of the Area Council throughout its history. The Committees series contains records produced by various council committees, which report directly to the Board of Directors. Committees are concerned with specific functions of the council such as budgeting and staffing, and with organizing camp activities and other events such as the annual cookie sale. Newsletters represent the bulk of Printed Materials. The most complete run is Scout About, covering the years 1948-1990. The rest of the newsletters tend to be specialized for a particular age group, and represented by no more than a few years each. The Scrapbooks document various activities of the council from soon after it’s founding in 1924 until 1990. The decades between the 1950s and 1980s are best represented. Most of the materials contained in the scrapbooks are local newspaper clippings, but also include programs, photographs and ephemera. While the bulk of the materials document local council events, there is some coverage of council participation in national events. The Photographic and Sound Materials contain photographs of council publicity shots, staff and officers and annual meetings, most of which date from the 1940’s and 1950’s. Also present are slides of the 1983 Round Up, a local picnic event for members and their families, and other undated slides of assorted activities.
Addition of August 2009 (Accession 2009-050) includes board minutes, packets and reports, scrapbooks, committee minutes, year-end review, Board of Directs, membership maps, copies of photos and newspaper clippings.
Currently, there are no materials in the collection documenting the Girl Scouts of Southwest Texas.

Administrative Records |
|
Administrative Records document the everyday operation of the organization. These materials identify the organizational transitions of the Area Council throughout its history. Several topics covered in the Administrative Records are also discussed in records generated by committees found in the Committees series. As a result, the materials in both series often complement and correspond to each other, particularly concerning camp properties and financial records. Administrative Records offer strong insight into early development and funding of the Area Council’s first established camps. Purchases and bequests of council headquarters and other properties are also well documented. Of particular note is evidence of changes that occurred in policies and organizational structure of the Area Council, mostly during the 1980’s. |

Printed Materials |
|
Newsletters represent the bulk of Printed Materials. Newspaper clippings and press releases from the 1930’s to 1980’s, and transcriptions of local radio broadcasts from the 1940’s to 1980’s are especially helpful in offering insight into the San Antonio Area Council of Girl Scouts’ local events and activities, as well as its relationship with the local community. This series offers insight into how the San Antonio Area Council of Girl Scouts was portrayed in public media. |

Newsletters |

The most complete run of newsletters is Scout About, covering the years 1948-1990. The rest of the newsletters tend to be specialized for a particular age group, and represented by no more than a few years each. |

Scrapbooks |
|
The Scrapbooks document various activities of the council from soon after it’s founding in 1924 until 1990. The decades between the 1950s and 1980s are best represented. Most of the materials contained in the scrapbooks are local newspaper clippings, but also include programs, photographs and ephemera. While the bulk of the materials document local council events, there is some coverage of council participation in national events. One example is a scrapbook containing photographs and ephemera of the 1965 Round Up event held in Idaho. Also of interest is a scrapbook of articles, photographs and programs commemorating purchase of the Martha Manor headquarter in 1957. |
