American Girl Scouts have worn specialized uniforms since their organization was founded in 1912. In the 1950s, Brownie scouts (ages 7 to 9) could make or purchase practical brown dresses with short sleeves. A Girl Scout in Royal Oak, Michigan wore an official elastic belt and beanie with this uniform, which features a tangerine-colored Brownie emblem on the breast pocket.
