Celebrating 113 Years Of Girl Scouts: A Look At Iconic Cookie Traditions

Happy 113th birthday to the Girl Scouts!  They were founded on March 12th, 1912! Then the first Girl Scout cookie was sold five years later in 1917.  Hard to believe we have been enjoying those little nuggets of heaven for that many years. That is proof that some things are in fact classic fan favorites. So, what's YOUR favorite?

The site "Taste of Home" had a professional baker rank them in order. Do you agree?

The Most Popular Girl Scout Cookies in Every State was broken down by People Magazine. According to them Montana's favorite is... Tagalongs. Personally, not my fav, but to be honest I have yet to meet a Girl Scout Cookie I don't like. Plus, those little cookies take me right back to a simpler time in the life. My childhood. When I was a Girl Scout way back when in the 90's. Those were the days. Biggest stressor in life was slinging those cookies for a badge and a stuff toy or sweet tote. Man, to be a kid again!
