GIRL SCOUTS. Dubuque Girl Scouts, chartered by Girls Scouts of the U.S.A. in 1935, became the Little Cloud Girl Scout Council in 1966.
The first Girl Scout troop in Dubuque began in September 1932. Annette Christianson (a public school teacher), Hedwig Salzmann, and Myrtle Faldorf organized girls from SAINT JOHN'S LUTHERAN CHURCH beginning with Margaret Salzmann, Hedwig Salzmann's daughter.
Troop I, the "Lone Troop" was started with twelve girls between the ages of ten and twelve. This troop, registered with national Girl Scout headquarters in 1933, had Christianson as the captain and Faldorf as first lieutenant. A second troop was soon formed.
On May 7, 1985, Hedwig and Margaret were honored at the annual council dinner during the 50-year anniversary celebrations.
