I was a Brownie Girl Scout back in the late '50s, early '60s, and some of these things were my own treasures: the pins, handbook, Scout Day patch. I also have a fun Brownie games book from the '30s, and an adorable photo of some California Brownies taken in the late '40s, early '50s. Those were very happy memories!

What a splendid display of Brownie items? It brought a smile to my face! Thank you.
I was a Brownie to Stef . I loved the cookie sales but mostly I loved Brownie Camp we would go to the mountains for a week to learn about nature , do crafts and had a grand time . That post brought back great memories . I remember washing my tin Brownie issue dishes in a river after we ate or stream I guess you would call it . We made bags to put the dishes in out of 2 waashcloths we sewed together . the old kind with holes in them like a mesh . I was so proud of my little dish bag :-) I can see myself at stream washing dishes again :-) Love this !
