In June of 1977, three young girls went to girl scout camp for some summer fun. Sadly, they would never return home. The camp where the girls would be staying was in a very dark, dense and wooded part of Camp Scott in Oklahoma. First we want to talk about Camp Scott.
Camp Scott
Camp Scott opened in 1928. The camp was a place for young girl scouts to spend a couple of summer weeks in the beautiful Ozark Hills of Oklahoma.
Magic Empire Girl Scout Council began running it in 1977 and by this time, the camp had grown to include 10 campsites, a Great Hall, and swimming pool and was situated within 410 acres to the left bank of Snake Creek. The campsites were placed near the main access road which was given the name... ‘The Cookie Trail’. Each campsite was given Native American tribe names and consisted of canvas tents atop wooden platforms, set around a stone-encircled campfire. The girls were supposed to be overseen by camp counselors who would have their own tent. There was enough room for four scouts to share each tent.
Because of the land, the tents were not evenly spaced, nor were the campsites placed equally along The Cookie Trail. The three girls that were murdered were staying in tent 8 in the Kiowa camp which happened to be set furthest west and more isolated away from the Trail than the others and tent 8 also was set a bit further out than the others in the camp. Its view from the counselor’s tent was also obscured by the shower block.
Although the Ozarks are beautiful and a great place to go camping, for small children the dense woodland can be very scary. Campers have often described feeling of uneasy or like they’re being watched, because of the dense forest.
The first (and last) night of the camp
On June 12th, 1977 the busses of girl scouts began to arrive at Camp Scott. From what we know, there were 27 girls in the Kiowa camp and three adult counselors. The first night at the camp there was a thunderstorm, so the girls spent the evening writing letters to their families. Counselors usually dread the first night of camp because the gilrs are all pretty excited to be away from home and spend a large part of the night giggling and laughing in their tents.
Strange occurrences during the night
There is information that suggests that someone was stalking the campsites that first evening. It was impossible to create an exact timeline, but testimony from various parties paints a pretty good picture. This is the timeline police put together by witness statements.
