Captain Pin 1916-1923 image: Terry Beye |
Since Girl Scout leaders (Captains) earned badges and wore the same uniform (with badges and ranks sewn on just like the girls) something had to be done to identify the leaders. Special hat and shoulder cords were worn, and around 1916 the Capitan's Pin was introduced. The gold 3-leaf clover sits atop a red, white and blue shield. In 1917 a Lieutenant's Pin was introduced, to be worn until the adult passed the First Class Rank - when it was switched to the Capitan's Pin. The Lieutenant's Pin was discontinued in 1922. |

Brown Owl Pin for Brownie Leaders 1927-1938
|
Early Brownie Girl
Scout Leaders had unique pins for their uniforms.
Brown Owls were the leaders
and Tawny Owls were the assistant leaders
of the first official Brownie Packs.
At first the pins were enameled brown,
switching to an orange enamel in 1934.
The Tawny Owl pin had a design change early on.
