The Old Baldy Council (#043) was founded in 1917 as the Pomona Council. It changed its name in 1921 to Old Baldy. The Old Baldy name is from Mount San Antonio, often called "Old Baldy" or "Mount Baldy", the highest peak in the San Gabriel Mountains.〔(The Council Guide online )〕 On May 1, 2006, Old Baldy Council was dissolved, with the chartered organizations and units reassigned into two neighboring councils. The Sunset District (in Los Angeles County) joined with the San Gabriel Valley Council and the Golden Eagle and Trails End Districts (in San Bernardino County) merged with the California Inland Empire Council. Greater Los Angeles Area Council' (GLAAC) is a new Boy Scouts of America Council made from the merger of the Los Angeles Area Council and the San Gabriel Valley Council, with part of the former Old Baldy Council. The vote to merge was held on March 21, 2015.〔(scoutsunited.org, SGVC/LAAC UNITED - UPDATES )〕 The new name of the Council, Greater Los Angeles Area Council, was announced on June 11, 2015. The new Council will continue with Scouting Service centers in Los Angeles and Pasadena. GLAAC has three Scout shops in Los Angeles, San Pedro and Pasadena.〔(Los Angeles, San Pedro Scout Shops )〕 GLAAC operates eight BSA Camps in the greater Los Angeles area.〔(SGVC BSA camps )〕〔(LACC BSA Camps )〕 Due to the large size of the two original councils, the merger is a process that will be completed over a time span. ==Organization== Former Districts: *Golden Eagle District served the towns of Ontario, Claremont, Pomona, Walnut and Diamond Bar. *Trails End District served the towns of Fontana, Rancho Cucamonga and Upland.〔 The San Bernardino County Sun from San Bernardino, California · Page 32, November 21, 1982〕 *Sunset District served towns of Diamond Bar, Walnut, and Pomona In the San Gabriel Valley Council the area that was formerly Old Baldy Council's Sunset District is now divided and added to expand the Valle Del Sol and Golden Eagle districts.
