Camp Fire USACamp Fire USA is a century-old, time-tested, formative youth offering which continues to be a worthy investment, building caring, confident youth and future leaders. Founded in 1910 Camp Fire Girls was socially innovative for its time. It was the first interracial, nonsectarian, organization for girls in the United States. In the early 1900's Charlotte Vetter Gulick, an inspirational, mothering spirit ( and wife of Luther Halsey Gulick, M.D. ) coined the watchword from the first two letters of Work, Health, and Love. "In constructive work lay the roots of true service to humanity. Health is fundamental. Love is our highest law." [ 1 ] Since that beginning, society has vastly changed as the world has done somersaults. Through it all Camp Fire has had to prove itself: A litany of organizational restructures, a century of impassioned leaders, volumes of curriculum, and decades of mission driven, outcome specific programs. Now nearly 100 years later history has proven the work of Camp Fire true. The present proves it still relevant - even dire - and it is the ongoing work of councils peppered across the country, including Camp Fire USA Central Alabama Council.Learn more
