Question: What year did the sale of Girl Scout Cookies begin?

Answer: The sale of Girl Scout Cookies began in 1917, just five years after Juliette Gordon Low founded the organization in the U.S. It started as a small, local fundraiser when the Mistletoe Troop in Muskogee, Oklahoma, baked cookies and sold them in their high school cafeteria to support troop activities.
