Ivy joined Girl Scouts this summer and just loves it. We were looking at Brownie uniforms online, and I showed her a picture of the one I had back in the 70's--one of the late 1960's ones a neighbor gave us after her daughter outgrew it. Ivy decided she wanted an old one, and we found--and won--this beautiful set off of Ebay from the 1960's. It came today and it was like unpacking a Christmas present:
Jeans and a pullover
Detail on the front of the pullover
Embroidery on jeans pocket
Uniform. Complete with tie, belt, gloves, beanie and socks,
Detail of the official Brownie socks
Purse
So cute! I had that exact same Brownie uniform I think, back in 1964 or 1965. I will try to dig the picture out.

Wow, that brownie print on the pull over is really cute! For some reason I always thought the girl scouts were the food brownie, clearly I never actually thought about it! Now I want to be a brownie.

Oh my, how adorable!
I'm a Guider over here in the UK. The uniform they have now is really cute, but I prefer the one I had as a Brownie. The girls saw a lot of old uniforms over the past year as it was our Centenary. Are you guys all prepared for yours yet?

that's so cute! I joined Girl Scouts from elementary school up until my last years as a Senior in high school.. I thought everyone in the troop had to wear the same uniform.
