Girl Scouts of Southwest Indiana was organized as Raintree Council on September 10, 1957. In March 1958, Girl Scouts of the USA officially chartered it to provide Girl Scout programming in Vanderburgh, Warrick, Spencer, Perry, Posey, and Gibson Counties. In November 1961, White County, Illinois, joined Raintree Council. In September 1962, the council extended its jurisdiction, adding Martin, Pike, Daviess, and Dubois Counties in Indiana. In 2007, White County, Illinois transferred to Shagbark Council, and in 2008, Knox County, in Indiana, was added to Raintree Council. In June, 2010, Raintree Council's corporate name was changed to Girl Scouts of Southwest Indiana.
