Mayor Henry Maier sampling Girl Scout cookies, Milwaukee, 1961.
The Girl Scouts celebrate their 100th anniversary in 2012. On March 12, 1912, Juliette Gordon Low, granddaughter and namesake of early Wisconsin pioneer Juliette Magill Kinzie, organized the first meeting of Girl Scouts (then known as Girl Guides) in Savannah, Georgia.
This photo of Milwaukee’s mayor sharing cookies with Girl Scout Nancy Rehfeldt was published in the Milwaukee Journal in 1961.
