Vintage sigh of the arrow Girl Scout badge

The patch is a vintage "Sign of the Arrow" Girl Scout troop crest from 1963-1979. Troop crests were used to identify Girl Scout troops, symbolizing their goals or interests. It is worn by Brownie, Junior, Cadette, Senior, and Ambassador level troops. The crest is placed directly under the council identification strip on the uniform. Troop crests do not have assigned meanings, but the symbols can hold cultural significance. This "Sign of the Arrow" crest features a yellow trefoil with black arrows on a red background. Troop crests are a tradition that represents troop unity and goals.
