Boy Scouts. II grew out of the sum
mer out-of-doors schools conducted by
Mrs. L. II. Gulick, Mrs. Ernest Seton
Thompson, Mrs. Sidney Lanier and
others. who were closely connected
with the Boy Scouts. But since wo-
mans relation to social life differs
from that of men, so the training OF
girls should not be the same as that
of boys. The girl is the home-maker,
the keeper of the fires of work, OF
health and of the love that is unset
fish service. So this organization
symbolizes the greater home, the glrl
in the home, not the girl going away
from the home TO scouting and busi-'
ness competition Camp Fire honors
are awarded for faithfulness in busi-
ness relations, but the home is always
the ideal of the Camp Fire Girl.
The Camp Fire Girls is the only ma
tional organization of the sort which
is self-supporting II is not depend
ent upon gifts and endowments. II Is
supported by the dues Of the members
and the profits from the Camp Fire
Quitting Company. The charter Zee
for a Camp Fire is 81. The annual
dues TO the national are so cents for
each girl-less than cent week.
The local dues are voted by each
Camp Fire. usually FIVE cents week
for each girl-only the price OF q
soda .or movie. The material iol
girls ceremonial dress costs 40 cents
The Camp Fire manual is twenty-five
cents. Each honor bead costs one cent.
These expenses may be met by each
girl from her own pocket money, but
in most Camp Fires. the money IS
raised by cooperative entertainments,
and the equipment for each member is
paid for out of the common treasury.
A Camp Fire Girl must be at least
twelve years old The junior auxil-
iary is called the Nest Of Bluebirds,
because the Bluebird makes happiness
in the home
