“S’mores has strong ties to our organization’s history, and this cookie brings a new and delicious way for consumers to support girls and the fun adventures that grow their everyday leadership skills through Girl Scouts”, said Deborah Hearn Smith, chief executive officer of Girl Scouts of Central Indiana. As far back as the early 1920s, the tradition of making and enjoying S’mores has been a staple of their outdoor experiences.
