Statue of First Girl Scout Cookie Sale

Field review by the editors.

Muskogee, Oklahoma

Titled "A Promise to Keep," it's a bronze statue of a life-size girl scout, her sash covered with merit badges, her three fingers raised in pledge of commitment, and four boxes of girl scout cookies at her feet.

The first girl scout cookies ever were sold in Muskogee in 1917. They were personally baked by the Mistletoe Troop, and the profits were used to send gifts to doughboys fighting World War I.
