Girl Scout Equestrian Units, "Mounted
Troops"
There's always been a special relationship between girls and horses, and
with Girl Scouting, it's no different. From the earliest days, horses have
been with Girl Scouts, in residential camp settings or in special equestrian
units called Mounted Troops. There was even an official uniform for Mounted
Troops, consisting of a woolen jacket and riding breeches. This interest
continued into the 1950s with unique Interest Patches for Senior Girl Scout
troops for uniformed wear that lasted until the 1970s.
