When the Girls Scouts were first formed, their goal was to educate and inspire girls in America. Through camps and exciting outings, they help young girls to learn how to be their best selves—but in 1977, disaster struck. Three little girls were dragged from their tent and murdered while attending one of these camps. A search for the killers would leave police chasing down criminals in the area, but the Girl Scouts would never be the same again. See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/pr...
