Scope and content
ca. 1937. The first weekend in April of 1937 was bringing Bremerton's Girl Scout Cookie drive to a close. Mrs. F.A. Stark, a member of the Bremerton Girl Scout council, was photographed receiving her cookies from Maxine Flieder, left, and Mary Taylor from Troop #7. Girl Scouts first started selling cookies to raise funds for scouting programs in 1917. During those early years, the Girl Scouts and their mothers baked the cookies they sold at home. By 1937, when this picture was taken for the Bremerton Sun, over 125 councils reported holding cookies sales, and the scouts were no longer making their own cookies. (Bremerton Sun 04-03-1937, pg. 1)).
