1928 was a year of change in Girl Scouting. The familiar khaki
uniform was replaced by the newly restyled, updated green uniform. Although
considered green, the fabric was actually a mix of white and greyish threads,
creating a grey-green color. As stock of khaki badges were sold out, new badges
were produced on the same grey-green fabric. Originally the badges were on
squares of fabric, to be trimmed in tucked when stitched to the sleeve or the
newly launched badge sash. Later the badges were cut round with the excess
fabric still needing to be tucked under. As always, badge requirements and
designs were constantly updated to meet the needs of Girl Scouts.
