Girl Scouts in America existed during World War I. They worked in hospitals and rolled bandages. They sold war bonds. Some troops even started selling cookies to support the war effort - this was the start of the Girl Scout cookie sale in America!

What did the Girl Scouts hand out in World War 2 when they ran out of cookies?

Cookies were in short supply for several reasons: 1. rationing limited the supply of cookie materials such as sugar. 2. many factories/bakeries stopped domestic production and turned their factories into war plants, making materials and supplies for the soldiers. 3. transportation of goods was limited because trains, etc were reserved for the military and military supply. so, the girl scouts sold calendars!


Why did the Girl Scouts change their uniform colors from khaki to green during or after World War 1?

Not all girl scout uniforms are green, just the Girl Scout Junior level. The beginning level, Girl Scout Daisies, wear blue. The second level, Girl Scout Brownies, wear brown. The third level, Girl Scout Juniors, wear the traditional green. The upper levels, Girl Scout Cadettes, Seniors, and Ambassadors, wear khaki. The reason juniors wear the traditional green is it is an easy color to keep clean when playing outside. It is easy to maintain a green uniform--when participating in outdoor activities stains don't show as they might with other colors, it is distinctive and it is traditional.
