History & Heritage

• Fayette R. Plumb & GSA Collaboration: Starting in the early to mid-20th century, Plumb was officially contracted by the Girl Scouts of America to manufacture official hatchets for outdoor campcraft, woodworking, and wilderness survival.

• Wedge Pattern Design: Plumb's wedge pattern features distinct bevels that taper outward to easily split wood and prevent the bit from binding in logs.

• Symbolism: The round GS trefoil emblem stamped into the steel served as official certification for scout gear, representing the duty and outdoor proficiency taught in the organization.
