Hi! Hope you don't mind me visiting your site- wish we had something like this in Notts. My Rangers have set me a challenge - to collect ALL old Guide Patrol emblems (birds and flowers)I am currently missing: Buttercup, Cornflower, Clover, Daisy, Dandelion, Fuchsia, Pink/Red Heather, Holly, Honesty, Iris, Ivy, Lily, Lily of the Valley, Pansy, Speedwell, Sunflower, Violet, Bantam, Blackbird, Skylark, Sparrow and Wren. Why did we have SOOO many?! If anyone has any emblems to swap or sell, please email me.
Thanks and Happy Guiding! Hel x
