EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the Girl Guide Ambulance Badge from 1923, a testament to the dedication and compassion of young girls in the early 20th century. The colour litho image depicts a cheerful female Girl Guide proudly wearing her uniform, adorned with badges that symbolize her commitment to helping others. The badge itself was earned every two years through rigorous examination in first aid and assisting those involved in accidents. This unique scheme of badges mirrored that of their male counterparts, the Boy Scouts. The illustration is part of the Scout Series cigarette cards produced by Ansties Gold Flake Cigarettes, serving as both an advertisement and a means to promote support for these young heroes. In this snapshot of history, we witness kindness personified as this girl confidently displays her skills with a smile on her face. Her red cross armband signifies her role as an ambulance worker while she holds up a splint and bandage – tools essential for providing crucial first aid during emergencies. This vintage card not only captures the spirit of scouting but also highlights the invaluable contributions made by girls within this movement. It serves as a reminder that even in times gone by, young women were actively engaged in acts of service and awarded for their efforts. As we admire this remarkable piece from Bridgeman Images' private collection, let us celebrate the enduring legacy left behind by these dedicated Girl Guides who exemplify courage, empathy, and unwavering support for those in need.
