Girl Scout Collector's Guide -- Wonderful book

I received this book last month and it is great. It has everything about Girl Scouting in the USA in it. I love it. I don't know what else to say, except that I have used it so far to research the ages of some Girl Scout uniforms that were donated to our service unit over the years.

Girl Scout Collectors' Guide: A History of Uniforms, Insignia, Publications, And Memorabilia

Excellent source book for anyone researching Girl Scout information and history. Fun to just "dip into" and remember the wholesome fun of being a Brownie or Girl Scout.

Best Reference on US Girl Scout history and memorabilia

Long awaited update on 1st edition. I could find very few inaccuracies
