How The Girl Scouts And Boy Scouts Invented Roasting S'mores - Tasting Table
Briefly

S'mores have been a timeless summer treat, originating from marshmallow roasts in the late 1800s that fostered community bonding and social interaction.
The Boy Scouts popularized s'mores through their 1911 handbook, spotlighting toasted marshmallows as essential camping tradition, turning a simple roast into a beloved treat.
The inception of s'mores traces back to 1895 with the introduction of commercial marshmallows, graham crackers in 1898, and Hershey's chocolate in 1900.
In 1927, the Girl Scouts documented the first recipe for s'mores in their cookbook, initially calling it 'Some More,' solidifying it as a campfire staple.
