This page is to honor the Girl
Scout programs and patches of the Bicentennial in 1976
|
 
Both patches
were offered as official GS American Revolution Bicentennial patches |
|
This patch was the winner of the GS Bicentennial Task
Group's contest. Each troop across America could submit 1 vote from
the designs shown on the cover of the Girl Scout Leader magazine March 1975.
The design was officially introduced at the Girl Scout National Convention
in 1975 |
 |
|
Likely, the design for the Triennium Pin 1975-1978 - not
able to verify it yet, though. |

The "If I were a Girl Scout in
1776" was a wonderful program developed by the Connecticut Trails Girl Scout
Council in honor of America's Bicentennial in 1976. This was before there were
Try-its and Interest Project patches - so there are only badges offered. They
covered a wide range of interest, focusing on how life would be for a girl in
Colonial America. The handbook even included instructions on sewing your own
uniform for the time!
