Josephine Holloway
She established one of the first African American Girl Scout troop in 1942 after trying for years to start a troop. In 1944, she was hired by the Cumberland Valley Girl Scout Council (in Nashville,TN) to act as a field adviser for all the African American Girl Scout troops. She remained in that position until she retired in 1963. In 1951, integration started for the Girl Scouts of Cumberland Valley. Holloway’s office was moved to the Councils building. In 1962, integration officially started when the council got rid of its “Negro district”.
