Girl Scout 'Third Liberty Loan' Exhibit Booth, Cincinnati/Miami Valley Council, WWI-Era Ohio Exposition, Spring 1918
This photograph shows a Girl Scout exhibit booth from the Cincinnati/Miami Valley Council, staged as part of a World War I-era war-relief exposition. The prominently displayed 'Third Liberty Loan for Girls' poster reflects the vital role young people played in supporting the U.S. Treasury's Liberty Bond campaigns of 1917-1918. Alongside patriotic fundraising, the booth's placards highlight the Girl Scouts' broader wartime service, from municipal assistance projects to national war-relief work, illustrating how civic organizations mobilized America's youth for the war effort.
