Title
English: Camp Fire Girls in office, ca. 1919
Description
English: The Camp Fire Girls organization was founded in the eastern United States and spread to the Seattle area in 1919. Camp Fire Girls' activities had Native American themes. Each member had an Indian name and made a ceremonial dress with leather trim. She received colored wooden beads for learning new skills, and added them to her dress. The Camp Fire organization is still active and now accepts both girls and boys.

In this photo, taken around 1919, two girls examine the beads on a dress in the Camp Fire Girls office in Seattle. Each different bead on the dress represents a new skill which the wearer has learned.
