I don't know what it is, but it's a neat find for sure!

That's a bit odd looking. Cool, but odd. Keep us posted as to what it might symbolize.

Spirit, your pin is upside down. It is a Girl Scout pin. Google Girl scout vintage pins. You'LLC see it towards the top.

Not a loss at all - a pin similar to yours is going for $7 on Ebay. Cool factor alone makes it a great find!

Nice find Spirit...I'm more interested in why it was pulled from the whatzit forum tho

Well, St.Patrick led the snakes out of Ireland. You said there were snakes there, maybe that girl scout was trying to earn a badge?
Nice find.

It may have been thrown away in discust, pro haps the girl quit the scouts, mabey it was the bugs or the lack of civilzation, or who knows what
