===Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee=== Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee serves over 14,000 girls and has 7,000 adult volunteers in 39 Tennessee counties. Nashville had its first troop in 1917 and Nashville Girl Scout Council was chartered in 1926. In 1958 a reorganization led to Cumberland Valley Girl Scout Council covering 20 counties in Tennessee and southern Kentucky. In 2006 a new realignment led to the current larger council.<ref name="midtenn-about">{{cite web|title=About|url=http://gsmidtn.org/about-us/|website=Girl Scouts of Middle Tennessee|access-date=30 August 2016}}</ref> Headquarters: [[Nashville, Tennessee]] Camps: * Camp Holloway is {{convert|76|acre|ha}} in [[Millersville, Tennessee]], and established in 1951 as a camp for "Negro girl scouts"; it now serves all girls.
