More Than Cookies: Southern Jewish Girl Scouts
Tuesday, February 28

It's Girl Scout Cookie season! From the beginning, the Girl Scouts have broken conventions and set a radical, progressive precedent. The original Girl Scout troops were ethnically, culturally, and racially diverse--three of the first four Girl Scout troop leaders were Jewish. This episode features stories from the early days of Girl Scouts in Savannah, Georgia, as well as the voices of southern Jewish women who have been involved in Girl Scouting over the past half-century. Tune in on February 28 for tales of the first Girl Scout Cookies—produced at Gottlieb's, a kosher bakery in Savannah—and reflections on the ongoing evolution of southern Jewish womanhood.

Produced and hosted by ISJL Public History Intern Isabel Bartosh, who is featured in the image on the lower left corner of the graphic.
