Question: Which state was the first to sell Girl Scout cookies in 1917?
Answer: The first Girl Scout troop to sell cookies was the Mistletoe Troop in Muskogee, Oklahoma, in 1917. The girls baked homemade cookies and sold them in their high school cafeteria to fund troop activities, sparking a local idea that quickly spread nationwide. By the 1930s, commercial cookie sales began in Philadelphia, leading to licensed bakers and the standardized Girl Scout Cookies we know today.
