Scouting in Colorado Today
There are six Boy Scouts of America local councils and a single Girl Scouts of the USA council in Colorado, merged from an original five.
The first National Wider Opportunity for Senior Girl Scouts, "Recall the Riches restore the Ruins," was held in Central City in 1973. In 1979, "Sky Hi Ski," a National Wider Opportunity, was held at YMCA Snow Mountain Ranch near Granby and a Senior Girl Scout troop from Mile Hi Council participates in the opening ceremonies at the Winter Olympics at Lake Placid.
As of October 1, 2007, all Girl Scouts from the state are joined as Girl Scouts of Colorado Council.
