Nest 755 was organized in Milwaukee, January 24, 1919 as a girls junior nest of Nest 725 (organized in 1916), under the guidance of Vincent Meklemburg and Mary Jegier. As part of the national and international Falcons organization, nests exist for the purpose of physical training and cultural betterment. During the early years of the group, members competed in local and regional military drill rallies. In 1921 Nests 725 and 755 hosted the district rally, and the following year both helped to organize a choir and a band. In 1927 Nest 755 merged with Nest 725.
