Kanakuk Kamps Corporate Office

Founded in 1926 and originally named Camp Kugaho, Kanakuk Kamps is a Christian-operated summer camp for children of all ages.

Today, Kanakuk Ministries remains under the decades-long leadership of Joe White, and his wife Debbie-Jo, Vice President, who inherited their roles from Joe’s parents in the 1970s.

Their son, Cooper, is also on the board of directors, and daughter Jamie Jo serves as the organization’s Director of Alumni Engagement.

Former Director Pete Newman went to prison in 2010 for sexually abusing boys at the camp. Some believe that the abuse goes much further than just Newman but non-disclosure agreements made by some family members prevent further investigation.

In fact, some churches, in light of possible new allegations, have canceled contracts with Kanakuk Kamps for hosting their children’s summer camps.

In February 2022, a court awarded almost $30 million to the victims of sexual assault and abuse at the camps.

Kanakuk Kamps maintains a corporate office in Branson, Missouri.

Girl Scouts Corporate Office

The Girl Scouts was founded in 1912 when Juliette “Daisy” Gordon Low organized a girl guide troop meeting in Savannah, Georgia. Low envisioned an organization that would get young girls out of the house, enable them to enjoy nature, and allows them to develop confidence and resourcefulness.

The Girl Scouts started with 18 members and today has an estimated 3.7 million members.

In the early years, most girl scout troops were segregated by race but this changed in 1956 when Murray Atkins integrated her local girl scout troops.

All levels of girl scouts earn badges for accomplishing tasks, such as camping and making fires, or learning trades such as robotics, and coding.


The Girl Scouts sell cookies every year as part of a fundraising effort. The first Girl Scout cookies were sold in 1917 and continue every year between January and April.

The Girl Scouts are known for tackling local issues, such as operating or donating to food banks, or planting trees.

The Girl Scouts maintain a corporate office in New York, New York.
