Uniforms
"Guide uniforms vary according to cultures, climates and the activities undertaken. They are often adorned with badges indicating a Guide's achievements and responsibilities. In some places, uniforms are manufactured and distributed by approved companies and the local Guide organisation.
... IN OTHER PLACES, GIRL GUIDES MAKE UNIFORMS THEMSELVES."

Guide International Service
The Guide International Service (GIS) was established by the Girl Guides Association in the UK in 1942, with the aim of sending teams of adult Guides into Europe after World War II to aid with relief work.
A total of 198 Guiders and 60 Scout leaders from Britain, Australia, Canada, Denmark, Holland, Ireland, Kenya, New Zealand and Russia served in teams. Working with UNRRA and the Council of British Societies for Relief Abroad, the GIS sent a number of teams to various parts of occupied Europe including Greece,the Netherlands and Germany, as well as Malaya. Notably members of team RS/107 were among the first civilians to enter the Bergen-Belsen concentration camp.
