Description: | This cotton and polyester hooded sweatshirt, which features the Girl Guides' logo of a yellow and white clover leaf flanked by two stars, is part of the official Guide uniform. The Toynbee Hall Guides, whose members signed the front, donated it to the Museum of London in 2000.
Toynbee Hall Guides is for girls and young women who are generally under-represented in traditional youth organisations. Toynbee Hall sponsors five guide units that meet regularly in Whitechapel, and most members are from families of Bangladeshi origin.
The group wrote, 'we are proud of our uniform. It tells everybody that we are Girl Guides and it keeps us warm when we go outdoors and camping. We have a sash for all our badges and we can show them to our friends. We promise to serve our God Allah and the country where we live'. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Museum of London | Rights holder: | Museum of London | Subjects: | Communities Leisure Youth Culture and Fashion | Temporal: | 1999-2000 | Source: | Museum of London | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
