Each year, starting in 1916, Camp Fire Girls had Birthday Projects, later called National Projects or Annual Projects.
Finding this information is difficult, but goes a long way in helping to date these items. Any help in identifying the honor design, or filling in gaps would be appreciated!
1916 - Baby Kits to Children Overseas | 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.
