Mayor Jewel P. Humphreys
Proclamation
March 17,1976 marks Camp Fire Girls 66th year as
a national youth agency.
In this Bicentennial year, Camp Fire Girls havk
enriched and expanded their program to focus on
projects which deepen youth’s understanding of the
human rights and responsibilities that are rooted in
the founding of this nation.
Camp Fire members are making the spirit of ’76 live
in their communities. In some areas, fairs have
highlighted the contributions of different groups to
the life of the community; in others, walking and
1 bikeways tours of historical spots are available, and in-*
still others Camp Fire members have spearheaded
community efforts to preserve “endangered areas.”
Because a democratic republic rests on widespread
participation and interest, it is especially exciting to
see the energy and dedication of Camp Fire members
as they contribute to their communities better places
to live. It is equally heartening to know that Camp
Fire Girls as an organization places its concern for
young people in a social context. As it’s own, newly
rewrl*ten purpose states. Camp Fire alr"«. to ^revir4*

function effectively as responsible self-directed
individuals; and, as an organization, to encourage
social change needed to improve those conditions in
society which affect youth.”
