Today's Black History Month illustration is of Josephine Groves Holloway, the first Black Girl Scout Troop Leader. Holloway was born in South Carolina in 1898 and moved to Tennessee in 1919 to attend Fisk University in Nashville. After she graduated in 1923, she began working with girls at the Bethlehem Center, which helped poor young mothers and children.

After she learned about the Girl Scouts, she wanted to establish a troop for Black girls at the Center. She learned how to be a scout leader directly from Juliette Gordon Low, the founder of the Girl Scouts. Her training allowed her to create the first Black Girl Scout troops in Middle Tennessee.

After Girl Scouting became popular in Middle Tennessee in the white, middle class community, an official council was created. In 1933, she attempted to form an “official” Girl Scout troop for Black girls, but the Nashville Girl Scout Council denied her request.

In 1942, after lobbying for about 10 years and starting an unofficial troop, she established Troop 200, the first official Black Girl Scout troop. She was also the first Black professional Girl Scout employee in Middle Tennessee. She was a district director and camp director.

By 1944, there were 13 troops with 252 Black Girl Scouts and 82 adults. Holloway was such an expert of girls issues that the Girl Scouts also hired her as a field advisor for all Black troops. Over her time as a field advisor, she supervised over 2,000 Black girls and adults.

Holloway worked hard to help Black girls get the full Girl Scout experience, but there were no camps available for them. Through her connections to Black landowners, the council was able to buy land for a new camp for Black girls. Camp Holloway, named after Josephine Holloway, opened its grounds in Millersville, Tennessee. Because the council didn’t put a lot of money into it, Holloway and her family took care of the campgrounds.

She retired in 1963, but after she died in 1988, she left 50 acres next to Camp Holloway to the council. The Camp is still open today. Because of Holloway’s hard work, there’s now a space for Black girls and all girls in Girl Scouts.

I’ll be back tomorrow with another illustration and story!

Saw a post saying Girl Scouts were "punk" and as always as ever got incandescently angry about the acceptance of the Scouting movement as politically neutral and even, possibly, empowering but tl;dr

1: Hey did you know you can visit the house where the first Girl Scouts of America meetings were held? It's a museum and local heritage site now!

2: Wow! Because of the Girl Scouts?

1: No, it was also the most lucrative cotton plantation in Savannah before the Civil War, and Juliette Gordon Low, whose father was also a Confederate captain and prominent cotton plantation owner, inherited it from her husband :) Also did you know they are called the Girl Scouts and not the Girl Guides because it "reminded [them] of America's pioneer history," i.e., Manifest Destiny :)

the fact that juliette gordon lowe was born on halloween (aka the gayest holiday). absolute legend

[neon-in-the-night-time]

first kill: this is the vampire main character, her name is juliette and she comes from a wealthy family who lives in savannah, georgia

my silly little brain that froths at the mouth anytime something even remotely girl scout related comes up: omg just like juliette gordon lowe, wealthy socialite from savannah, georgia who founded the girl scouts. this must be intentional and not a coincidence

#first kill #girl scouts #i got so excited when it was mentioned cal was a girl scout too #and when she was like ‘i only joined so my parents would let me shoot a crossbow’ like yesss girl scouts do archery #it’s usually a longbow or compound bow and i don’t know any camps that use crossbows but i could let that inconsistency slide
