Louise Davis's Girl Scout Sash, around 1930
Louise Davis and her troopmates broke with tradition and moved their patches from the sleeves of their uniforms to a sash, similar to the Boy Scouts.
Davis's sash sported a Golden Eaglet at the top, the highest symbol of achievement in the Girl Scouts at the time.
The other patches represent a diverse set of achievements -- including some that challenged gender expectations.
Find the one with the tiny wheel. That signified Davis's familiarity with automobile repair, including changing tires. |
