Description: | The doll is dressed in an early Brownie uniform. The Brownies are a junior section of the Girl Guides' Association which was formed in 1910, a year after a group of Girl Scouts turned up at the first Boy Scouts' public meeting in Crystal Palace. The Brownies were founded in 1914 for eight to ten-year-olds. In 1937, the Queen became a Guide, her sister Princess Margaret enrolled as a Brownie and their mother became the Patron of the Girl Guides. In 1917, Brownies wore a brown tunic dress with patch pockets, and in 1973 a knitted pom-pom hat was added.
