NATIONAL CAMP FIRE GIRL WEEK
MARCH 17-23
CAMP FIRE GIRLS
Camp Fire Girls are 9, 10 and 11 years old or in the 4th
through the 6th grade. Girls enjoy the Camp Fire Girls Program
because it is psychologically sound and because it is a program
of progression, changing to meet their changing interest as they
grow up. It is Today’s Girl.
Founded in 1910 by Dr. Luther H. Gulick, the organization has
continued to "develop girls to be womanly".
In Blakely there are two active Camp Fire Girl groups.
The E Ha Wee group consists of 20 girls in the 4th grade. Their
guardian is Mrs. Lowrey Stone with Mrs. Fred Huff and Mrs.
Freddie Davis assistants. These girls flew up from Blue Birds
to Camp Fire Girls last spring and are now working for their
Trail Seeker’s Rank which they will receive at a ceremonial in
the spring.
The A-O-Wa-ki-ya Group is made up of 9 girls in the sth
grade. Their guardian is Mrs. Frank Gilbert. These girls
received their Trail Seeker’s Rank last spring and are working
for their Wood Gatherer’s Rank at the present time.
These two groups of girls have all started work on Progres
sion in Outdoor Living. They hope to complete the three steps
Fagot Finder, Trail Maker, and Gypsy.
Most of the girls took part in the Summer Day Camp Program
and are looking forward to it this year. Some of them received
Polliwog, Frog and Fish awards and will work for Flying Fish
and Dolphins as they get older.
Each Camp Fire Girl has chosen an Indian name and has worked
up a colorful symbolgram with which to decorate her ceremonial
jacket.
The Camp Fire Watchword is W’oHeLo, coined from the words
Work, Health, and Love.
The Colors are red, white, and blue, the colors of our country’s
flag.
The insigne is crossed logs and flame set within a triangle,
symbolizing the hearth fire of the home and the campfire of the
outdoors.
BLUE BIRD PROGRAM
The first Blue Bird program was launched in 1913. Through
the years it has been revised and changed in order to keep in
step with needs of children in a swiftly changing world. The
Blue Bird program has never been richer. Thousands of leaders
have found it to be a wonderfully adaptable resource to help
girls grow and develop as Individuals In and through group
activities. It is designed to give girls a variety of constructive
and happy experiences during a period of their growth when
these experiences are important.
Creative play, built around family and community life, Is the
basis of the program which is designed to acquaint little girls
with themselves and with the world around them, and to develop
their ability to get along in a group of girls their own age.
Through a variety of constructive experiences such as music,
games, hand arts, dramatic play, homecraft, trips into the com
munity and guided social relationships within the group, girls
are helped to take the first steps toward a healthy, happy adult
life. The Blue Bird Wish expresses their hopes and aspirations.
The Blue Bird costume consists of a navy blue skirt, sleeve
less vestee with bright red front and blue back, white blouse and
peaked blue cap with the Blue Bird emblem on the front.
MERRY BLUE BIRDS
The youngest in the Blakely CFG organization are the Merry
Blue Birds who are 7 years old or in the second grade. These
20 active girls meet at the Early Co. Elementary School every
Tuesday afternoon with their leader Mrs. Larry Calhoun and
assistant leaders, Mrs. Larry Evans and Mrs. Jack Winkler.
For these girls the Blue Bird Wish is coming true as they
participate In various activities. At the weekly meeting only a
few minutes are alloted to the business of calling the roll and
collecting dues. More time Is spent on games, stories, painting,
handicrafts and the other things that interest seven-year girls.
Along with Individual group activities these Blue Birds parti
cipate in all projects sponsored by the CFG Leaders' Association.
One of the highlights of this year was collecting Christmas toys
for a group of girls at the Georgia Christian Home in Valdosta.
The gifts were delivered by Becky Winkler and her parents.
BUSY BEE BLUE BIRDS
The main goal of the Busy Bee Blue Birds Is to fulfill the
Blue Bird Wish. The first TO HAVE FUN is accomplished
each time the group is together. The leaders, Mrs. William
Powell and Mrs. Robert Swann, meet with their sixteen mem
bers each Thursday and guide them in LEARNING TO MAKE
BEAUTIFUL THINGS during the handicrafts period. The leaders
stress TO REMEMBER TO FINISH WHAT I BEGIN in all pro
jects, whether in Blue Birds, home, church or school.
This group has gone to many INTERESTING PLACES: Station
WBBK, local newspaper office, post office, fire dept., local
forestry unit, Brew-Schneider Mfg. Co., and WTVY in Dothan
where the girls talked to Santa Claus on television. A trip to
Thomas’ Green House and several nature hikes have provided
the opportunity to LEARN ABOUT TREES, FLOWERS AND
BIRDS
TO MAKE FRIENDS AND TO KEEP OUR TEMPER is encour
aged in each activity and the girls are reminded to remember
these wishes each day.
DAY CAMP
Last summer the Blue Birds attended day camp at Kolomoki
State Park with their big sisters, the Camp Fire Girls. Every
Wednesday for six weeks they met at the Methodist Church and
were transported by their leaders and Mothers to the park.
The day began with flag raising ceremonies and was filled with
planned activities. The girls enjoyed nature study, hikes,
handicrafts, singing, telling stories, swimming an d sharing
a picnic lunch with their friends.
At the end of summer, swimming tests were given by Miss
Charlotte Grist, Red Cross swimming instructor employed by
the Leaders Association. Emblems signifying the various levels
of swimming proficiency were awarded.
