![]() #1 SOLVED Update: Identified as being an Irish leprechaun pin, not related to Girl Guides/Girl Scouts, by Cameron of New Zealand. |
maybe Romania??? #2 |
SOLVED Mystery item #3 is a pin that was made for the Spanish Trails Girl Scout Council (which eventually merged into the Girl Scouts - Greater Los Angeles Council) as a souvenir for people who attended the council's annual recognition dinner. Each year a different pin was made, and I don't remember exactly what year this particular pin is from -- but I was there, since I have one in our collection. Most probably from the mid-1990's.

![]() Alpha Pi Delta #5
Finally solved - this Greek Key has been on the mystery list for years! Founded in1934, a sorority called Alpha Pi Delta that was (at first) exclusively for those who had earned the Golden Eaglet. Later it was amended to add First Class Girl Scouts who were now in college. The current Alpha Pi Deltas are not associated with Girl Scouting. |

![]() #12 G.S. Wayfarers pin - is it Girl Scout related? SOLVED
Hello, I am Sarah
Edwards, currently Chief of an Alumnae Service
organization based in Birmingham, Alabama known as
Wayfarers. The number 12 item on your mystery Girl Scout
and Girl Guide list is our membership pin. Our group was
organized in 1947 as a group of out-of-doors trainers
who would teach campfire cooking in a city park in our
area one evening a month. The three leaves are of the
sassafras tree which is the only tree (that we know of)
which has three distinct leaves. We have been having
these membership pins made for our group since the 50"s.
Sarah Edwards,Chief of
Wayfarers
