McKenna Moore, an 11-year-old Girl Scout, recently baked cookies using the first-ever Girl Scout cookie recipe. This event reflects the tradition of cookie-making which has transformed into a significant fundraising activity for Girl Scouts. Since the first official cookie sale in 1917, the initiative has evolved to incorporate various recipes and engages scouts like McKenna in community interactions while fostering entrepreneurial skills. With a variety of experiences beyond cookies, McKenna exemplifies the multifaceted benefits of scouting which connects her with others.
"You get to meet new people all the time. It's just really amazing talking and hearing what people love about Girl Scout Cookies so much."
"Me and my mom love to do different recipes to start cookie sales and stuff, to tell people it's cookie time."
"Homemade, simple sugar cookies became a popular fundraising method for Girl Scouts across the country for the next decade."
"The very first Girl Scout Cookie fundraiser took place in 1917, in Muskogee, Oklahoma when the Girl Scouts of the Mistletoe Troop baked homemade cookies and sold them out of their high school cafeteria."
