Girl Scout Postcards from the past...

        These vintage postcards where once sent through the mail to parents and friends from Girl Scout campers. The black and white smaller versions shown here for your dolls are original designs sold for 10 cents (pack of 6) through mail-order. The color versions were a bit more expensive and illustrate the early Brownie and Girl Scout promises and laws. 

In 1922 little girls could order these Girl Scout Post Cards, a set of 6 for only 10 cents!
