Girl Scouts' Competition, 1925

Negative no.A1242. August 1925. Image shows four pairs of girls attempting to start fires by shaving wood scraps into a pile and using friction to ignite it. Hooks and cooking pots are near each pair waiting to be suspended over the fires. Judges look on and spectators stand back to watch. A flagpole is in the background of the field. Most likely part of a "Field Day" organized by the Draper Corporation for Draper Corporation employees.
