A Woman’s Editor recalls a Girl Scout cookie drive across March winds and hail. Troop 337 faces tough weather, fierce delivery, and the thrill of selling 136 dozen cookies, ending with a porch visit and a light wallet.
Margot Erickson recalls 1985 as the start of the Girl Scout cookie tradition in Long Meadow Massachusetts. Mrs. Robert Smith and Mrs. Hans Passberg baked in home kitchens to fund a troop of 20, a spark that grew into a nationwide sales milestone.
The piece notes Girl Scouts in the Valley of the Sun starting their cookie sales at 7 02 am with mottos about camping on cookies. It contrasts brisk early morning sales with the challenge of few buyers and mentions winter waning sales elsewhere in the United States.
