According to the book "Scouting Dolls through the years" by Sydney Ann Sutton with Patsy Moyer, this doll was introduced in 1946. She was replaced by a doll with a vinyl head in 1955. This doll is 14 inches tall. She has a molded mask face with painted features. Her green long sleeve dress has two pockets on the skirt and green snaps down the front. Her panties match the dress. She has a red neck tie/scarf on her hair, a dark green leatherette belt which closes with a green snap, brown leatherette tie shoes, and white socks. The book says that the shoes have a buckle on the toe, but I have seen two of these dolls and have seen others, neither of which had the buckle.

History Girl Scouts of the United States of America (GSUSA), commonly referred to as Girl Scouts, is a youth organization for girls in the United States and American girls living abroad.[2] It was founded by Juliette Gordon Low in 1912, a year after she had met Robert Baden-Powell, the founder of Scouting[3] (formally Boy Scouts).

Members can earn badges by completing certain tasks and mastering skills. More senior members may be eligible for awards, such as the Bronze, Silver, and Gold Awards.[5] Membership is organized according to grade level, with activities designed for each level. The organization is a member of the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS).[6] History edit Girl Guides of America edit Juliette Gordon Low (center), with two Girl Scouts. Girl Scouting in the United States began on March 12, 1912, when founder Juliette Gordon Low organized the first Girl Guide troop meeting in Savannah, Georgia. It has since grown to near 3.7 million members.[7] From its inception, the Girl Scouts has been organized and run exclusively for girls.[8] Low was the granddaughter of Juliette Magill Kinzie and John Harris Kinzie, and her maternal grandparents were one of the earliest settlers of Chicago. Juliette Kinzie wrote about her experiences in the Northwest Territory (now the state of Wisconsin) in her book Wau-Bun: The Early Day. Low incorporated some of her grandmother's experiences on the frontier into the traditions of Girl Scouts. In late 1912, Low sought various mergers with similar organizations, including Camp Fire Girls and the Des Moines-based Girl Scouts of America, but was unsuccessful in any merging.[9] Girl Scouts of the United States edit Cover story from The Saturday Evening Post on the Girl Scouts (Oct 25, 1924) In 1913, the organization was renamed to Girl Scouts of the United States. Its headquarters was subsequently moved to Washington, D.C.[9] In 1915, the organization was incorporated,[10] and its headquarters was moved to New York City.[9] The organization was renamed for the final time to Girl Scouts of the United States of America in 1947. The organization received a congressional charter on March 16, 1950.[4] By 1920, the organization reached nearly 70,000 members.[11] In 1930, that number had expanded to over 200,000 members. As of 2013, there were over 3.2 million Girl Scouts: 2.3 million youth members and 890,000 adult members.[11] More than 50 million American women have participated in Girl Scouts throughout its history.[11] In 1923, Girl Scouts were organized into patrols, troops, local councils, and a National Council.[10] Initially, troops had a high degree of independence, but over time, councils were formed between troops. Today there are over 100 councils across the UniCounciltes.[11] The Juliette Gordon Low Historic District in Savannah, Georgia, became the national Girl Scout program center in 1956.[12] Upon Low's death in 1927, she willed her carriage house, at 330 Drayton Street, which eventually became The Girl Scout First Headquarters, to the local Savannah Girl Scouts for continued use.[13] San Juan, Puerto Rico Girl Scouts Troop No. 54, (Year 1945) Desegregation edit Most Girl Scout units were originally segregated by race according to state and local laws and customs. The first troop for African American girls was founded in 1917; the first American Indian troop was formed in New York State in 1921; and the first troop for Mexican Americans was formed in Houston, Texas, in 1922. In 1933, Josephine Groves Holloway founded unofficial African American troops in Tennessee. She also fully desegregated the Cumberland Valley council in 1962.[14] The first official African American troop in the South was founded in 1932 in Richmond, Virginia. It was created by Lena B. Watson, but was led by Lavnia Banks, a teacher from Armstrong High School. It first met in Hartshorn Hall at Virginia Union University.[15] By the 1950s, GSUSA had begun significant national efforts to desegregate the camps and maintain racial balance. One of the first desegregations, accomplished by Murray Atkins Walls in 1956, was at Camp Shattuck in Kentucky.[16] Later the same year, Martin Luther King Jr. described Girl Scouts as "a force for desegregation".[17] In 1969, a Girl Scout initiative called Action 70 was created that aimed to eliminate prejudice. Gloria D. Scott, an African American, was elected national president of GSUSA in 1975.[18] Wing Scouts edit Main article: Wing Scout The Wing Scouts was a Senior Girl Scout program for girls interested in aviation. It was started in 1941 and ended in the 1970s. In July 1942, 29 troop leaders from 15 states met in Philadelphia for Wing Scout leadership training. They returned to their councils and began the creation of Wing Scout troops. In 1959, the council in San Mateo County, California was presented with an offer from United Airlines to start an aviation program for Senior Girl Scouts. A highlight of the Wing Scout program was a courtesy flight provided to Senior Girl Scouts using United Airlines aircraft. For many of the girls, the flight was their first time being in an airplane. Senior Girl Scouts who had been in the program for three years were given the opportunity to temporarily take control of a small aircraft during flight. The program was discontinued after United Airlines experienced financial issues in the 1970s. GIRL SCOUT 1946 13" ALL CLOTH GEORGENE NOVELITIES DOLL
