1946-1980
Unlike the Mariner Girl Scout program, there never was an official Wing Scout uniform. However, this 1945 catalog image clearly shows that the standard Senior Uniform was certainly acceptable for the Wing Scouts.

(Deb Friedman's Uniform) At first there was no official insignia to denote the special ratings of the Wing Scouting program, but that changed in 1955. A Wing Scout Analyst earned her silver wings pin. A Wing Scout Traveler was one chevron, Wing Scout Navigator 2 chevrons, Wing Scout Technician 3 chevrons and a Wing Scout Pilot added the propeller to the top of the 3 chevrons. A Wing Scout Pilot had earned her Pilot's certificate and (or) was an Assistant Leader to a Wing Scout Troop. Chevrons were gold on dark green felt. |

(Deb Friedman's Wing Encampment Patch)
Deb Friedman was kind enough
to share the following information;
the 3 chevrons on the uniform are one unit.
The Rockwood Encampment in 1960
was the first of it's kind in the region.
There were to be 75 participants,
including Canadian Air Rangers.
Deb also donated the image
of the dark green bordered Wing patch
shown on this page and the Senior Interest Patch page.
