JACKSON, Tenn. – National S’mores Day is Saturday, August 10, and we have just the place to celebrate.

The Girl Scouts are credited with inventing the s’more recipe, which is printed in the 1927 Girl Scout guide, Tramping and Trailing with the Girl Scout.

The Girl Scouts Heart of the South invites all girls in grades K-12 to join in the fun and participate in games, crafts, and roasting marshmallows for the classic campfire treat.

The Girl Scouts’ mission is to build courage and confidence in its Girl Scouts and to provide them with opportunities they might not normally have.

“We have our stuff here so they can make their own s’mores. We even do a s’mores swap and that’s a little pin. We as Girl Scouts put a lot of emphasis on swapping here, so it’s just a little pin that they can make for arts and crafts. We’re just trying to get out here in the community and hope a lot of people come and we can celebrate S’mores Day,” said Sierra Gonzalez-Cruz, community program specialist for Girl Scouts Heart of the South.
