Scope and content
In 1943, Marilyn Field (far left), Betty Hall, Doris Sunnen and Suzanne Marion were members of the first battalion of the Tacoma Girl Scout "Safety Pin Brigade". Because of the war, there was a shortage of safety pins in Tacoma. Expectant and new mothers were having difficulty finding fasteners for dipers. Tacoma's Girl Scouts collected pins and attached them to paper cards. The donated pins were made available to all mothers in need. (T. Times, 4/30/43, p.1)
