From 1922-1927, the badges were changed to olive green stitching on a dark navy or black background, from 1928-1936 with 'Girl Guides' lettering on the outer ring. This was mainly to resolve difficulties of keeping the white felt badges clean. Though the colour resolved the difficulty of keeping the badges looking clean, they still didn't take laundry well.
The badges in this era were: Astronomer, Artist, Athlete, Basketmaker, Beekeeper, Birdwatcher, Boatswain, Booklover, Braille, Carpenter, Campfire/Choral Patrol, Child Nurse, Clerk, Cobbler, Cook, Cyclist, Dairymaid, Dancer, Domestic Service, Electrician, Embroidery/Stitchery, Entertainer, Firefighter, Fitness/Health, Flyer, Folk Dancer, Friend To Animals, Gardener, Geologist, Gymnast, Handywoman, Hiker, Horsewoman, Homemaker, International Knowledge, Interpreter, Knitter, Lacemaker, Laundress, Landworker, Lifesaver, Milliner, Minstrel/Musician, Music Lover, Naturalist, Needlewoman, Pathfinder, Photographer, Pioneer, Poultry Farmer, Printer, Rifle Shot, Scribe/Secretary, Sick Nurse/Home Nurse, Signaller, Skater, Singer, Sportswoman, Spinner, Surveyor, Telegraphist, Swimmer, Thrift, Toymaker, Writer.
In 1936, The felt badges were replaced by woven badges, in a larger size (40-44mm rather than 30-35mm). These were on a navy background, with navy bound edges. These continued in use until 1967.
The badges were: Angler, Aquarist, Astronomer, Artist, Athlete, Agility, Basketmaker, Beekeeper, Bellringer, Birdwatcher, Boatswain, Booklover, Braille, Camper, Carpenter, Campfire/Choral Patrol, Child Nurse, Clerk, Cobbler, Collector, Cook, Cyclist, Dairymaid, Dancer, Decorative Needlecraft, Domestic Service, Electrician, Embroidery/Stitchery, Emergency Helper, Empire Knowledge/Commonwealth Knowledge, Entertainer, Firefighter, First Aid, Fitness/Health, Flower Lover, Flyer/Aircraft, Folk Dancer/Country Dancer, Friend To Animals, Friend To The Deaf, Gardener, Gymnast, Handbell Ringer, Handywoman, Hiker, History Lover, Home Defence, Horsewoman, Homemaker, Hostess, International Knowledge, Interpreter, Keep Fit, Knitter, Knotter, Lacemaker, Laundress, Landworker, Lifesaver, Map Reader, Minstrel/Musician, Music Lover, Naturalist, Needlewoman, Pathfinder, Photographer, Pioneer, Poultry Farmer, Player, Rabbit Keeper, Rescuer, Rifle Shot, Scribe/Secretary, Sick Nurse/Home Nurse, Signaller, Skater, Singer, Sportswoman, Spinner, Stalker, Swimmer, Thrift, Toymaker, Traveller, Weatherman, Welsh Folk, Woodman/Forester, Writer.
In 1991, the Girl Guides Association became The Guide Association, aiming to clarify that members were adults as well as children. At the same time the wording on the badges was altered, from "Girl Guides" to "Guides".
The badges were: Accident Prevention, Angler, Aquarist, Astronomer, Artist, Agility, Band, Boatswain, Booklover, Camper, Camper Advanced, Care Of The Elderly, Carpenter, Caver, Caver Advanced, Challenge, Childcare, Collector, Computer, Confectioner, Conservation, Cook, Country Dancer, Craft, Crime Prevention, Cyclist, Dancer, Embroidery/Stitchery, Emergency Helper, English Folk, Entertainer, Europe, Farmer, Firefighter, First Aid, Fitness/Health, Flower Arranger, Flyer/Aircraft, Friend To Animals, Friend To The Deaf, Gardener, Handywoman, Heritage, Hobbies, Homemaker, Hostess, Holidays, Home Nurse, International Knowledge, Interpreter, Laundress, Lifesaver, Local History, Manx Folk, Map Reader, Musician, Music Lover, Observer, Outdoor Chef, Outdoor Cook, Outdoor Pursuits, Pathfinder, Quest, Radio Communicator, Road Safety, Science Investigator, Scottish Folk, Seasons, Secretary, Singer, Sportswoman, Swimmer, Thrift, Toymaker, Ulster Folk, Water Rescuer, Weatherman, Welsh Folk, Woodman/Forester, World Cultures, World Guiding, World Issues, World Traveller, Worldwide, Writer.
Then, with the coming of new programmes for the Guide section, all the existing badges were done away with, and a new set of badges introduced, with random shapes.
