Girl Guides of Canada
Please help! If you know anything about these pins or other items, please email. I know very little about Canadian Girl Guides and I would love to learn A very special thanks to Louise St.
Germain, Kathy Stephen, Mia Haddard and Kaitlyn Frank for the images and French Canadian Guides Guides Catholiques du Canada (secteur francais) started in 1962 for French speaking Catholic Canadians. They were formally affiliated with Canadian Girl Guides in 1995. However, they are a separated program.
2 Versions of the Canadian Girl Guide Ring - left is the older CGG emblem, right is the GGC version.
All Round Cord, Gold Cord and Canada Cord Pins The All Round Cord was revamped in 1957 (for the Centennial Year) with all new requirements. It was noted that the All Round Cord was not a requirement for earning the Gold Cord. If the Gold Cord was earned, the All Round Cord would no longer be worn on the uniform. Girl Guides could earn the All Round Cord by being a First Class Guide, holding the Little House emblem and several other badges. The Gold Cord could be earned after the guide turned 15, completing several requires and be recommended by the Court of Honor of her company, her Captain and the Guider-in-Charge of the Guide Camp (1962 requirements). Rangers could also earn these pins as well (1962). The Pathfinder Age Level started in 1979.

What little I know about Canadian Girl Guide pins, etc:
There appears to be 3 eras of the Girl Guide membership pins, and I just call
them early, mid and current. I imagine prior to that their pins were the same
as the ones used in the United Kingdom (?). If anyone can narrow the dates
down - please email!!!!!!
Michelle Jermy writes - The three periods are: c.1935–1964 1964-1984 1984-present Before c.1935 we used the same pins as in the UK. All branches, the trefoil, badges, uniforms, etc. were changed in 1964. The most recent change in the trefoil was in 1984, and that design is still in use.

information they sent! Also to the very nice ladies who work at the Girl Guide
Shop at 938 Mason, Victoria B.C. Canada. On my recent visit to B.C., they helped
me identify the new changes to the programs, new pins being introduced and some
special award pins. There was also a very nice lady from the Trefoil Guild who
showed me some of the archives. I learned so much!
In 1937, the Salvation Army's girl programs (Life Saving Guards and
Sunbeam-Brownies) formally joined Girl Guiding. They continue today, wearing
a Salvation Army badge on their Girl Guide uniform
