GIRL SCOUTS OF AMERICA
"CAMP SEVEN HILLS"
HOLLAND, NEW YORK
BRONZE PIN
1940 OR EARLIER PIN
GIRL SCOUT CAMP SEVEN HILLS, HOLLAND, NY
In 1930, Camp Seven Hills opened its doors to its first 50 campers. Since then, the grounds have hosted thousands of Girl Scouts from Western New York. Camp Seven Hills is located in Holland, New York, and encompasses approximately 620 acres of woodland paths, sunny meadows, ponds, streams and hills. The camp facilities are divided into two central camp areas: Camp Seven Hills Goodyear 10150 Olean Road, Holland, NY, and Camp Seven Hills Lakeside 10299 Savage Road, Holland, NY. The total area includes two lakes, two central dining halls, two infirmaries, shower houses, cabin and platform tent units, sports complex, 22 horse stables with tack room, indoor riding arena, two outdoor riding rings (there are no horses in residence) and a high and low ropes challenge course.
This pin was part of a huge collection of Boy Scout Memorabilia dating back to the 1920's.
The best I can find is that the early GSA and local councils did have pins and badges for their own local awards.

This auction is for a very rare vintage Girl Scouts of America "CAMP SEVEN HILLS" bronze pin.
This collection belonged to a life-long Scouter who passed away in 2000. He earned his Eagle award about the age of 17, which would make it around 1959 (ish). He spent his life devoted to Scouting serving as Scoutmaster and at Boy Scout summer camps for over 15 years in positions from counselor to eventually camp director.
He was a ten year member and Vice President of the local Volunteer Fire Co., ten year member of the area Hazardous Materials Response Team and the town Tax Payers Association and was an Eagle Scout with Gold & Silver Palms, one of the highest ranks in Scouting.
A bronze palm represents five additional merit badges, a gold palm 10, and a silver palm 15. 1 gold palm and 1 silver palm = 46 total merit badges (21 required + 25 additional)
I cannot divulge his identity because I don't have the family's permission, nor sufficient background information on him.
Condition: This handsome pin is in excellent condition for being around nearly 80+ years old.

Mechanical device disclaimer: Every mechanical device has a certain life span. The day it leaves the factory, it becomes one day closer to it's end date.  When I find these devices, I plug them in, wind them up or put in a battery. If they buzz, whirr or seem like they're doing what they are supposed to be doing, I keep them for auction. At that point in time, I have NO IDEA of how old or how much use they have incurred. They may last a lifetime, or fail the next time they are turned on. Therefore, I sell these as "Decorative or Ornamental purposes" only, not functional. Which may be referred to as "AS IS".
Note: On some items, UPC symbols may have been removed for rebate purposes.
