History Loves Girl Scouts
It’s that time of year, yall. That time when, without even so much as blinking an eye, the vast majority of the population shells out the financial equivalent of their right arm for a box of coveted cookies…sold to us by the adorable little neighbor girl who’s just trying to get the next patch on her Brownie uniform.
Yes…you guessed correctly. It’s Girl Scout cookie season and we are here for it.
Juliette Gordon Low—also known widely by her nickname, “Daisy”—started Girl Scouts in 1912 in her hometown of Savannah, Georgia. The first troop was made up of 18 girls who all shared a sense of curiosity and a belief that they could do anything.
According to their website, “At a time when women in the United States couldn’t yet vote and were expected to stick to strict social norms, encouraging girls to embrace their unique strengths and create their own opportunities was game-changing. That small gathering of girls over 100 years ago ignited a movement across America where every girl could unlock her full potential, find lifelong friends, and make the world a better place.”
The original Girl Scout mission still holds as much weight today as it did back then and we are proud to support our local troops with all their fundraising endeavors, especially when that involves us eating delicious cookies.
No. 5 Bistro and Bar is taking our love of Girl Scout cookies one step further by marrying the cookies with our love of craft cocktails. Coming at ya shortly, we will be offering our spin on your favorite GS cookies in a fun night out at No. 5 Bistro and Bar. Clear your calendars and bring a friend. After all, history loves company.
