Introduction
In 1909, a small group of girls attended a rally of Scouts at the Crystal Palace. There were by then several groups of girls who had gathered to “play the game of Scouting”. Scouting had sprung up in England after 1907, and Robert Baden-Powell wanted to get an idea of how the program he had started was growing. To his surprise these girls attended the rally, and they told him that they wanted to be Scouts too. B-P had not envisioned a co-ed program, but acknowledged that a parallel organization for girls was justified. He asked his sister Agnes to assist him in setting up something for the girls. His opinion was that the girls should not be called Scouts and suggested they be called Guides instead. Until about 1918 they were known as Baden-Powell Girl Guides [which is why early enrolment pins show BPGG].
For many years Guiding in Canada followed the British program, using the same badges. The Canadian Girl Guides Association developed distinctive enrolment pins long before it took responsibility for its badge program. As late as 1939 the British POR was used, subject to some changes in requirements for badges which reflected the Canadian experience (e.g. different birds to be identified for the Bird Lover badge). From 1936 supplements to the British PORs listed Canadian-specific rules and procedures, but the British badge designs were still in use. In 1941, an all-Canadian POR was published and the Canadian badge designs began to diverge from the British.
Styles of Guide badges
A number of changes occur in the style of Guide badges over the years. The dates given are approximate as changes were not always clearly documented or may have occurred over a few years.
NOTE: Some badges (e.g. emblems, and badges earned as a patrol) are different in size, shape and colour to the regular proficiency badges.
Early, circa 1910-1921 Circular; white; felt: symbols in blue with occasionally a small accent in another colour. Could be hand embroidered.
Circa 1921-1933 Circular; navy; felt or cotton: green symbols in green encircling ring. In general, cotton badges postdate felt badges.

Circa 1933-1964 Circular; navy; cotton: symbols in green stitching and text “Girl Guides” in green encircling ring, no edge binding.
Circa 1964-1995 Circular; navy; cotton: coloured symbols, with navy edge binding.
1995- Circular; navy; cotton or polyester. In 1995, and again in 2005, there were major changes to the Guide program and many badges were re-named and new ones introduced. Changes in manufacturing techniques enabled the use of more colours in badges and they became more “pictorial” rather than “symbolic”. Canadian Guiding Badges And Insignia Guides
