By 1928 Girl Scouting was an established program, no longer a novelty in the public eye. The introduction of the grey-green fabric for the Girl Scout uniform was the first time the color "green" was associated with Girl Scouting. It also was the first time the adults wore a completely different style of uniform. In 1935 a change was made to the neckline, a zipper was added and the modesty shield was removed.

Citizen/Senior Girl Scout Pin 1921-1929
Image donated by Gail C. Schrader Citizen Scouts - older Girl Scouts, were committed to community service, fulfilling the 8 hour a month requirement of service. The uniform of the Citizen Scout at first, was a khaki armband, with troop crest and red ribbon. Later various uniform changes were offered. Girls could continue to earn badges, and wear badges earned previously. The blue enameled pin was introduced in 1921 to match with the blue serge of the current uniform. It was replaced by the green enameled pin in 1929. |
