Brownie Wings were never worn on the Brownie uniform. The
first wings - the red, white and green version was a direct copy of the
United Kingdom's Brownie wings. The brown version of the wings were
smaller and meant to match with the current Girl Scout uniform. The final
version has grown larger throughout the years.
Brownie wings have signified passage from Brownies to Girl
Scouts. During a brief time the wings were given out for Brownies who have
achieved the Golden Hand rank. Later this was changed to Brownies who have
participated in a special "Fly-Up" ceremony and even later just to
indicate passed membership with Brownies.
