Looking back again into old family photos I came across this one of me when I was a Brownie:
This was taken in our back garden when I was about 7 or 8 and you can just see my little sister coming into the photo. I loved being a Brownie.

So cute. I don’t have a lot of photos of when I was young.

Very cute! I was never a Brownie, but loved the idea of it when I was little.

Cute! I was surprised when I went through photos recently that I didn’t have more of me in my various Girl Scout uniforms. I only found this one when I was a Cadette: http://www.joyweesemoll.com/2012/10/13/scouting-october-memoir-challenge/

How sweet. I suspect the uniform design has barely changed since then either!

Margaret – What a great ‘photo! You do look very proud of that uniform, and I’m glad you had a good experience being a Brownie. Thanks for sharing!

Another Brownie here. That was fun. I remember becoming a Girl Scout, but then our troop disbanded and I didn’t join another.

I loved being a Brownie too. I was Sixer of the Kelpies! I liked the old uniforms, they changed over to the new ones whilst I was in the Brownies – hated the tie.

Oh did you have one of the beanie hats? Lucky you – we had stupid berets in the late 60’s and I could never get mine to stay on!

I was a Brownie for bit, with a uniform just like your’s. I always struggled to fold the tie and get the knot right – even now I have to chant the reef knot mantra ‘left over right and under, right over left and under’. And I still do it wrong and end up with a granny knot!
