 Camp Eagle Island became a Girl Scout property in 1938, when the Graves family of Orange, New Jersey, gave the island to the Maplewood-South Orange Girl Scout Council.In time that council became the Girl Scout Council of Greater Essex County, which merged with a Hudson County council in the late 1990s.The last council to own the property and operate the camp, Girl Scouts Heart of New Jersey, came into being from the merger of councils from Hudson, Essex, Union, Somerset, Hunterdon, southern Warren, and parts of Middlesex counties.
