Made in Pa.: Phila corner where Girl Scout cookies began marks legacy of a nationwide fundraiser

The sale of more than 200 million boxes of Girl Scout cookies each year can be traced back to a single experiment at Broad and Arch streets in 1932, where a group of Philadelphia Girl Scouts and their parents launched what would become the most successful youth-led fundraiser in the country.

Long before online ordering and cookie-tracking apps, the first batches were baked in ovens at Philadelphia Gas and Electric, now PECO.
