Scope and Contents

At the 1941 regional Girl Reserve conferences, Girl Reserve clubs from around the southern region hold regional camps and conferences to unite under a common purpose and aim, interact with girls from other clubs and backgrounds, discuss the social, economic, political and spiritual problems they face and participate in fun recreations and activities. Conference reports and proceedings summarize and assess the conference discussion groups, equipment and facilities, food and recreation. In 1941, discussions and emphases include Vocational guidance, social relationships and the religious life of the young woman. In North Carolina and Georgia separate conferences are held for the African American Girl Reserve clubs, both documented in these records.
