			We should probably keep the uniform pretty simple. Individual girls can get more of the traditional uniform if they want at the Girl Scout Country Store.

			[http://store.girlscoutshop.org/brgisc.html Girl Scout Store Brownie Uniform Page]

			We can make a trip to the GS store to pick up the following for each girl if their parents would prefer. I'll make up a form so the parents know how much the uniform will cost.

			* Sash or Vest
			* Insignia Tag
			* World Trefoil Pin
			* Brown Membership Pin
