EDITORS COMMENTS
This vibrant and captivating print showcases the Girl Guide Athlete Badge from 1923. The colour lithograph, created by an English School artist in the 20th century, captures the essence of youthful energy and determination. The badge itself is a testament to the dedication and hard work put forth by young girls involved in scouting activities during that era. Similar to Boy Scouts, Girl Guides had their own system of badges to earn recognition for various skills and achievements. Among these awards, the athletic badge featuring a skipping figure stood out as one of the most sought-after accolades. To attain this prestigious badge, girls had to undergo rigorous tests over two months involving skipping, jumping, relay races, breathing exercises, and balance control. This image was originally part of Ansties Gold Flake Cigarettes' Scout Series cigarette cards—an iconic collection that celebrated scouting culture. The photograph radiates joy and enthusiasm with its depiction of a cheerful girl proudly wearing her uniform while skipping rope with finesse. It serves as a nostalgic reminder of an era when outdoor activities were highly valued for promoting health and well-being among young people. Preserved within a private collection today, this vintage card not only represents an important milestone in scouting history but also stands as a timeless symbol of empowerment for girls who strive to excel in sports and physical fitness even now in the twenty-first century.
