Counting down to the 110th birth of the Girl Scouts of the USA on March 12, 2022.
Four Memorable Moments from Girl Scout history in the 1990s. How many do you remember?
Bronze Award Created
When the Gold and Silver Awards were introduced in 1980s, Junior Girl Scouts asked “What about us?”

Daisy Pin Redesigned
The original Daisy membership pin was redesigned in 1993 to incorporate a trefoil shape.
Cookie Pins Introduced
If cookie patches and cookie badges weren’t sufficient recognition for the venerable product sale, Girl Scouts of all ages could earn a cookie pin. The program ran from 1998 through 2019, when the current Cookie Entrepreneur program launched. So far the Entrepreneur pins seem to be durable. The first cookie pins were plastic and may have come from a gum ball machine. GSUSA soon switched to metal cookie pins, these were also cheap. One good sneeze and they all broke apart.

New National Headquarters
GSUSA’s Manhattan headquarters relocated from 830 Third Avenue to 420 Fifth Avenue in 1992.
