Guide and Scout Music Badge Collection

 Music is a huge part of my life outside of Guiding. I play five instruments (piano, french horn, accordion, handbells, and ukulele), and have been involved in various music groups. When I became interested in Girl Guide uniforms and badges and wanted to start collecting, I didn't really know where to start. But then I saw someone on Facebook post about their collection of reading badges, and I thought that it was a great idea! So I started collecting music badges from various time periods and countries.  I have also included some generals "Arts" badges that have music symbols or imagery on them.  So far my collection includes twenty five badges from Canada and the UK, and I am always looking for more on buy-and-sell sites.
