I Collect Old Girl Scout Handbooks & Badge Books!

I am a "Green blood" - if you cut me I might bleed green! I enjoy working with Girl Scouts and have extended that passion to collecting old editions of Girl Scout Handbooks and Badge Books. Finding the books is an adventure - you can find old books everywhere - flea markets, garage sales, etc. It is also fun to look through the books and find the notes that the previous owners had written in the books - what badges they earned, etc.

Why Collect Girl Scout Books?

I collect old Girl Scout books because I love looking at how the program has changed over the years. I love showing the girls how the badges have changed over the years (we no longer have a housekeeping badge, but we do have a computer badge!).

Having these old books also reminds me that Girl Scouts changes - and that's a good thing. If we still had some of the same badges that the organization had at the beginning (semaphore!) we wouldn't have any girls in the organization.

It's just as important to remember our past so that we can change and grow toward the future - and to help the girls become all they can be.

Do You Have a Collection of Girl Scout (or Boy Scout) Books?

    Good idea for a collection. I was in Brownies, but later switched to 4-H so missed being a Girl Scout.

    No, I don't but I can appreciate your hobby! Nice lens.

    No. But I am sure that my friend of many years, who was a Girl Scout all the way through school, would love to collect them.

    I don't collect old Girl Scout books (and the ones I had as a Scout are hardly in collectible quality) but I do have some song books from the 50s and 60s that once belonged to an elderly friend of mine. This friend led Girl Scout troops until she was in her seventies!

    Thanks for this lens. It's brought back a lot of wonderful memories.
