Introduction
The Brownie program was started in 1914 for girls younger than Guides. Originally, unit members were called Rosebuds, but in 1915 the name was changed to
Brownies.
The Consolidated Catalogue and List of UK and British Empire Girl Guide Badges (Centennial Issue) by Thelma Newell identifies 7 different styles of Brownie badges. There are also a number of variations in threads, backing and colour hues within these styles. The dates of introduction/deletion are based on publications, however, it is likely that old stocks of badges would continue to be used until exhausted before changing over to the new style.
1915-1932
Triangular; red, green, blue and yellow felt: symbols in yellow, brown, green, blue, white, black or red stitching. Could be hand embroidered.
1932-1935
