Camp fire girls - National honors



Each year, starting in 1916, Camp Fire Girls had Birthday Projects (dropped in 1960), later called National Projects, National Honors or Annual Projects.
-
Every group was encourage to participate in the program.
-
At first Birthday Honors were earned ONLY during Camp Fire Girl Week. Later they stretched over the year. Then it went to September to the summer of the following year. Each Birthday Honor period had a special design for the honor, once earned, to be stenciled to the ceremonial gown or later, sewn to a vest.
-
First year with a verified special design was 1927. Earlier years may not have had a special design.
-
Later charms were offered for sale, but did not have to be earned.
-
By the mid 1950's these honors, pre-printed on felt, were likely available for sale, due the uniformity of felt patches and the uniformity of stencil and paint quality.
-
Summer Honors, for girls meeting during summer break, were discontinued in 1958.
-
These annual projects seemed to fade after 1968, though the birthday themes continued, there was less emphasis, except for...
-
"We The People" in 1976.
-
Finding this information is difficult, but goes a long way in helping to date these ceremonial gowns and vests. Any help in identifying the honor design, or filling in gaps would be appreciated!

This Summer Honor design was used in 1955, 56, 57 and 58 (the year the Summer Honor ended). It was only earned by Advisors and Guardians who arranged for 6 gatherings of their girls during the summer break.
The first project grew from a warmhearted concern for the plight of small children during the First World War. The suggestion was made in 1916 that girls might make clothing for "babies in Belgium, France, Germany, Poland, Serbia, Armenia, as well as in our own land." The response was overwhelming. Parcels spilled over the mailing room at National Headquarters and necessitated temporary rental of addition space to handle and classify them for shipment abroad.
