Camp Fire Girls War Service Exhibit, WWI War-Work Exposition, Cincinnati, Ohio, c. 1918
The Camp Fire Girls, founded in 1910, mobilized its young members for extensive volunteer work during World War I, from knitting garments for soldiers to selling war savings stamps and tending victory gardens. This staged exhibit, featuring girls in traditional ceremonial costume around a mock campfire, was displayed at a Cincinnati war-work exposition to showcase how even the nation's youngest citizens contributed to the war effort on the home front.
