Material: Brass

Description: This item is a traditional Girl Guides or Girl Scouts service star pin, measuring exactly 15mm in diameter. Cast in a gold-toned metal alloy, the award features a classic six-pointed star silhouette with subtle grooved details accenting the tips. The centerpiece consists of a raised circular bezel enclosing a prominent numeral "1" that stands out against a densely stippled, pebbled background texture designed to maximize visual contrast.
Circa: 1920s to present
Notes:
These compact star insignia have been utilized for over a century by international guiding organizations, such as the Girl Guides of Canada and the United Kingdom's Girl Guiding association, to commemorate annual milestones of involvement for both young guides and adult leaders. Each completed year of registration or leadership corresponds to a specific numerical pin, allowing members to display their long-term dedication directly on their uniform sashes, ties, or hats. The textured, light-reflecting background matrix inside the central disk was an intentional design choice to keep the small digit highly legible from a distance during formal uniform inspections and merit ceremonies.
