Orange County Council # 39 has existed on two occasions, although the Southern part of the County remained the same organization.
After the death of Scout Executive Pop White, Northern Orange County Council # 37 split from the Council. At the same time, the remaining Council changed their name or Orange Empire Area Council # 39.
In 1972, a Council merger occurred, reconstituting the original Orange County Council # 39, which remains to this day.
