Tabitha Leslie, an 8-year-old Girl Scout Brownie, may soon be a world record holder.
On Oct. 6, Leslie and Troop 679 of Trussville rallied with other local troops and residents at Camp Coleman in an attempt to break the world record for the most s’mores made simultaneously.
Holding to their “Scout's honor,” Leslie and the participants initiated their world record attempt at 2 p.m. Fourteen other locations in North Central and South Alabama began their roasting at the same time to meet the world record requirement of "simultaneous."
While the current record to beat is a whopping 1,150 s’mores, Leslie is confident in the hard work of the troops across Alabama.
Once the Girl Scouts of North-Central and South Alabama leadership teams tally the signatures in 8 to 12 weeks, Leslie will know if she earned a custom world record patch for her Brownie vest.
The patches on the back represent her participation in an activity like the s’more roast or a cookie sale.
“I love selling cookies,” Leslie said, showing off her patches. “My favorite ones to sell are Thin Mints and Lemon-Ups.”
