Mariner Girl Scouts

Very early Mariner manual

There were many Girl Scout troops that focused on boating skills before the Mariner Girl Scout program for Senior Girl Scouts officially began in 1934. Many of these programs were studied and helped to develop the uniform, ranking, pins and manuals of the Mariners.

Gob Style Hat with a Senior Scout Service Patch

The classic Mariner uniform changed little over the years. World War II shortages eliminated the 10 white buttons on the front of the skirt. The white braid on the skirt was discontinued in 1953. Official slacks and shorts were available. A blue beret was official for a time, but the sailor cap or "gob" hat was so popular the beret was discontinued. The whole uniform was discontinued in 1960. Mariners instead wore the green Senior uniform with a Mariner Interest patch.
