About this deal

This uniform was designed by fashion designer, Jeff Banks and included a choice of sweatshirts (yellow or brown), t-shirts (yellow), shorts (brown), culottes (brown) and sweatpants (brown). The Brownies also wore a brown sash, which they would sew their badges on and had the choice of wearing a baseball cap. A new Promise Badge was introduced in 1993, which was a yellow trefoil. I promise that I will do my best, to be true to myself and develop my beliefs, to serve the Queen and my community, to help other people and to keep the Brownie Guide Law”. Young Leaders were also able to wear the Ranger uniform even if they weren't part of a Ranger unit. Rainbows wear tabards in six colours of the Rainbow; red,orange, yellow, green, blue and violet, a green cap is optional.

The addition of a cardigan would have made the uniform slightly more casual and comfortable, moving away from the more militaristic uniform design. 1950s Promise Badge The first Brownies or 'Rosebuds' did not have an official uniform, but the Girl Guides Gazette suggested that a dark blue pleated skirt, blue knitted jersey, brown edged blue wool cap or 'tam', brown or blue tie and a belt would make a suitable uniform. The brown cotton dress with a tie that we associate with the Brownies was introduced in 1917, with the style barely changing until 1990. British Girlguiding Overseas might wear Girlguiding uniform or they might adapt or design suitable guiding wear for their members. The clothing should suit the climate and customs of the country concerned. The simplified badge featured the Brownie Man stamped on a brass rectangle, although as the war progressed, the design became smaller and an oval design was used to minimise the amount of brass used in production. 1950s Uniform Promise badges-These should be worn on the badge sash or worn on the left-hand side of their uniform, closest to their heart.Another makeover, this time by Ally Capellino. The uniform now includes T-shirt, gilet (fleece vest), rugby shirt and sweatshirt in mid-blue and dark blue, with red detail. Badges are now worn on the gilet.

In 1990, designer Jeff Banks launched a new Guide uniform; a mix and match of bright blue sweatshirts, jumpers, polo shirts, T-shirts, jogging bottoms, skirts and trousers. When metal was needed for the production of munitions and military vehicles, Brownie Promise Badges first simplified their design to use less metal, and then due to further restrictions, were no longer available to all Brownies. Instead, Brownies were encouraged to find alternative badges, and girls with older sisters who were Brownies before them may have re-used older badge designs as well as more Brownies wearing hand-me-down uniforms over the 16 year period. There was no Guide uniform in 1908 because there were officially no Girl Guides. However, some girls had organised themselves into self-led groups and had adapted the Scout uniform for themselves. They wore a long khaki or Lincoln green skirt, a khaki blouse, and a khaki brimmed hat. Rainbow Guides | Brownie Guides | Girl Guides | The Senior Sections | The Adult Sections | BGIFC (British Guides in Foreign Countries) | * (Lord Baden-Powell's Role in The Girl Guide Movement (UK) * | * Uniform Through the Years * Designed with versatility in mind, these uniforms reflected the growing demand for leisure wear as uniform.In the 1930s, Brownies promised: “I promise to do my best to do my duty to God and the King and to help other people everyday, especially those at home”. Our uniform gives everyone in guiding a sense of belonging and pride in being part of guiding. We don't have one set uniform – we take a flexible approach. The second major change as the uniform got a makeover from designer Jeff Banks. The uniform consisted of mix and match items of the following; sweatshirt, jumper, polo shirt, t-shirt, jogging bottoms, skirt and trousers all in bright 'Guide' blue and navy.

It was made up of, polo shirt (Navy or white), sweatshirt (navy) knitted jumper (light blue), knitted cardigan (light blue) cardigan (navy with white sleaves)and striped shirt (long and shorted sleaved). Plus casual wear (to be worn at camps and unit meeting) was available, these included a grey blouse, and rugby shirt, and 'surprise yourself' jersey tops.
