Chapter 1: Welcome to Girl Scouts Welcome to Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri where girls from St. Louis City and 28 surrounding counties develop the courage, confidence and character to make the world a better place. We are proud to stand on a tradition of Girl Scouting which began in 1918, when the first Girl Scout troop formed in St. Louis. Initiatives and programs have stayed current with the times, but the primary focus of the Council has always been, and will continue to be, the leadership development of girls. The Eastern Missouri Service Center serves as the base of operations for Council staff, but is much more! At the Service Center, girls and adults can purchase Girl Scout uniform components, insignia and badges, talk to experienced staff about resources and ideas for troop activities and attend programs, meetings and training courses. Directions: The Service Center is located near Page Avenue, between I-270 and Lindbergh Blvd. From Page, go north on Ball Drive one-half mile to 2300 Ball Drive. The building is on the right (east) side of Ball Drive. Public parking is available in front of the building. Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri Service Center
