Description
patrol leader stripes; Patrol Leader Stripe, Girl Guide; two white stripes of cloth tape applied vertically to the front of the left breast pocket.
Object History
Stripes are part of scrapbook "Burnaby Girl Guides. -- [1914]-1969, predominant ca. 1920" (BV.015.35.164). Note in purple ink on scrapbook page reads: "Enrolment & Membership Card of / Joan Bailey 1926".
Three white stripes on the left breast pocket indicate that wearer was a company leader. The more stripes you had, the higher your rank. A single white stripe, sewn down the center of the pocket, would have indicated that she was a patrol seconder. Two stripes would indicate that she was a patrol leader. White adhesive tape was sometimes used so that the Guider didn’t have to unstitch and re-sew the stripes as they gained rank.
