Formerly

of the nation's premier youth development organization. Even though the name
is new, the purpose of the organization remains the same: to serve children.

coeducational programming for approximately 700,000 participants annually, as
reported by Camp Fire councils, through 120 councils in 41 states and the
District of Columbia. As a not-for-profit, youth development organization,
Camp Fire provides programs that include mentoring opportunities through
clubs, environmental education through camping, and direct child-care
services. Other innovative activities include an in-school service-learning
curriculum and programs designed specifically for urban youth and for
teen-agers.
