Statement of significance

The shirt comes from the Dale Region of the Girl Guides troop. The group was worn by the donor at some point during her time as a part of the organisation. Her sisters also were a part of the organisation at some point as well. The shirt is complete with a Dale Region motif.

The Girl Guides troop is an example of social groups for children and young adults that have operated within the City of Armadale over the years.
