Jocky club of Kenya, girl scouts and BP?

[redfish76]

Hey all
I haven't been to any estate/garage sales in a while but my dad wanted me to go with him on Friday so I tagged along..
I bought a little baggy of pins for $2.00 and maybe I can get a opinion of if any of it is worth anything..
First pics are of some tag? seating? and reads on the top Jocky Club Of Kenya.. bottom Private stands 1959
The back reads Not Transferable ... no 253..w.o lewis .. 8ADfs) est b'ham .19
and the other items I would like to know about are the clover pins.. are they both girl scouts items?
Also a cool little sterling 25 years of service pin.. and is the BP pin from BP/amoco? I also scored some silver cheap..
Thank you all in advance.. And all items are pictured as found
Jeff

The flag pin, with the clover and two stars is definitely the old version of the WAGGGS (World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts) pin, which changed in 1991. I don't recognize the writing, on either it or the other trefoil stick pin. I'm was tempted to say Kenya because of the other pin, and the "GSK" on the stick pin, but I googled swahili and arabic, and it doesn't seem to match. Maybe someone else can ID the language.
The BP pin might also be scout related, as Lord & Lady Baden-Powell started the scouts overseas, he is frequently referred to by his initials, BP. But that is a total wild guess.

the "K" nations are: Kenya, Kiribati, Korea and Kuwait

Kuwait's current pin is very different, but yours maybe decades old. Their Girl Guides Association was established in 1965! but it doesn't look like arabic?

Cool finds!!

Think you did pretty good. BP pin is unlikely related to British Petroleum.

How'd your dad make out?

The Girl Scout pin is probably the Thinking Day pin for 1966. I'd bet the BP 1965 is the same. Here's this year's version.

Looks like souvenirs of a US diplomat with daughters.

The Kenya Girl Guides Association was actually established in 1920 - they just didn't become a full member of WAGGGS until 1963. Kenya is where Lord and Lady Baden Powell retired to, and where they are buried.
