Lou Henry Hoover at the oven with a Girl Scout Troop - Could they be baking up some Girl Scout Cookies?
 The Girl Scout movement was First Lady Lou’s passion.  She once said:

“I was a Scout years ago, before the movement ever started, when my father took me hunting, fishing and hiking in the mountains. Then I was sorry that more girls could not have what I had. When I learned of the movement I thought, here is what I always wanted other girls to have.”
