August 10th is National S’mores Day. Yay! Here’s an excerpt from a GSUSA article that also features some more s’mores (see what I did there) recipes:
National S’Mores Day is August 10, and as we all know, s’mores hold a special place in Girl Scout history. Did you know that the first-known recorded version of a “s’mores” recipe can be found in an official Girl Scout publication from 1927? So cool! The recipe is credited to Loretta Scott Crew, who reportedly made s’mores by the campfire for a group of Girl Scouts. Originally called “some mores,” it is unknown when the name was shortened to “s’mores,” but recipes using the longer name can be found in various Girl Scout publications up through 1971.
Each year, our service unit (639) puts on a summer camp called City Slickers. It lasts a week for Cadettes, Seniors, & Ambassadors and a half-week for Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors. Our theme this year is “It’s a Girl Thing!” I’m one of the Juniors’ leaders. The Brownies and Daisies are day-only, but the Juniors spend each night. I’m really looking forward to it, and I’ve been planning events for it for the past few months. After City Slickers is over, it’s troop planning time! W00t!
