Your Brownie Vest


Here's a handy diagram of where to put all the insignia on your Brownie vest.  To get started, your scout needs only:

  • American Flag Patch (1)
  • Council Identification Set (2)
  • Troop Numbers (4)
  • Brownie Insignia Tab (11)
  • World Trefoil Pin (12)
  • Brownie Membership Pin (13)

When you attach the troop numbers, please leave room above for the Troop Crest (3), which the girls will select. The Troop will provide this, along with Membership Stars + Discs (5) and the Bridge to Brownies Award (6) for those girls who were Daisies before becoming Brownies.

All other pins and badges that you see on this diagram will be added as the girls earn them.

Remember that "fun patches," like the Brownies Can Do Anything! patch given at the first meeting, go on the back of the vest only. Unless you are sewing on your patches (a lot of work!), I suggest you start attaching them in the center along the bottom of the vest and work upward, since the "sticky" tends to get caught in the girls' hair.

Girls should wear their vests to all meetings and some of our field trips.
