Amazing book, so much information, so many pages and pictures and graphs. A must buy for all researchers and girl scouts. So much information, outstanding. More then double the length of the first edition. Great value.

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.

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.

This is an amazing collection of information on all things about the girl scouting organization with information of program, evolution of girl scouting, uniforms, badges, age level and has information on other items used by girl scouts . I have found it very helpful in compliling my collection, which is available at www.sparklesgarden.com/patchtrading.html
Thank you.

Since I am acquiring Girl Scout memorabilia for a display during the Girl Scout Centennial year, 2012, I was advised that this book was something I absolutely had to have. And this was so right! It has proven to be worth to me many times its value, and has saved me from making bad buys several times. You can learn so much from this book. I recommend it to anyone who even has the slightest interest in Girl Scouting.

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

interesting book. i found most of the items i was searching for in the book.

Would have helped if this was a price guide. Other than that, it has a wealth of knowledge on girl scout items.

Please check this book out at a library or local Girl Scout Council before buying! I was disappointed because I have been searching for quite some time for information regarding four Brownie badges that I earned in the 1970s, but can't remember what they were for or how I earned them. Although this book seems well-researched and is full of interesting and little-known facts, the information I seek was not included in this book or its predecessor. Since these badges were earned within the last 35 years, I was disappointed to find no mention of them, especially when the book includes such a wealth of information regarding previous decades.
