[SOLVED] Hello, help identifying thriftshop find!

Hi, all. I've been trying to find this symbol/guy/pin on the web for a couple days now, but i havent had much luck. Its a cross/clover thing with a guy in the middle. As much as i can tell its real gold. I pulled the pin part off thinking it was fake because of some brown spots. Thought it was an underlayer but it was just dirt, haha. Anyways, pics attached. Thanks in advance and yay my first post.

DCM is right; it's a Browie Membership pin.
Here are two current listings:
Vintage 1950's 1970's Girl Scout Brownie Pin | eBay
and..
Vintage Goldtone Girl Scout Brownie 1935 1939 Pin Charm D206 | eBay
Note the difference in the dates the sellers are using.

Oh I see! So I guess its not pure gold then. I really like this guy in the middle tho, haha

Yup, a Brownie pin. Still have mine from the early 1960's. No, not gold.
