I was actually in the 'pre-Brownies' when I was 5, back in the early 80s and we were called
Pixies. We had red & white checked half-bandannas/scarves and red apron/smocks with pockets. That was where our patches would go. I am sure my Mom has it somewhere.
I remember painting Pixie rocks and going to meetings. It was fun and I was so upset when I had to switch to the brown uniform for Brownies...I thought it was not pretty at all!
And Girl Scouts switched from Pixie to Daisy, but I preferred my red ensemble! But the Daisy name made sense because that was the GSUSA founder's nickname.
ps. Juliette 'Daisy' Gordon Low did not attend college (rather finishing school in France), but I think that if she had she probably would have been in a sorority!
