Sequoia Council

(Redirected from Fresno Council)
(not to be confused with the Sequoyah Council located in Tennessee and Virginia)

The Sequoia Council serves Fresno, Madera, Kings and Tulare Counties in California. Founded in 1919 as the Fresno Council, it changed its name to Sequoia Council in 1925. In 1992, the Mount Whitney Area Council (#054) merged into Sequoia.[1] The council was the first in California to sponsor an all girl cub scout pack.[2]
