Girl Scout Spirit of 1776

A group of women in vintage clothing stands in a line outdoors, balancing on one leg with their arms linked, smiling and posing together for the camera. Trees and sunlight are visible in the background.

To celebrate Independence Day, I’ll share part of my Girl Scout Bicentennial patch collection.

The Girl Scouts joined the rest of the United States to celebrate our country’s 200th birthday in 1976. Councils, troops, and cookie bakers all got into the spirit, issuing Bicentennial-themed patches. The Connecticut Trails Council even issued a very popular series of badges, “If I Were a Girl Scout in 1776.”

Enjoy!!
