Camp Fire Girls - Birthday Honors
Each year, starting in 1916, Camp Fire Girls had Birthday Project, later called National Projects. Every group was encourage to participate in the program. Likely each year had a special design for the honor to be attached to the ceremonial gown or vest. Finding this information is difficult, but goes a long way in helping to date these items. These programs were discontinued in 1968.
Summer Honors, for girls meeting during summer break, were discontinued in 1958.
