In honor of March being Women’s History Month, our newest episode shares the story of the Mokena Campfire Girls!
The first Mokena Boy Scout troop was established in Mokena in 1914, the young women of Mokena, not wanting to miss out on the fun, started a Campfire Girls “Camp” in 1915!
In their short history, these young ladies, ages 15 to 17 years old, left a real mark on our community. Listeners will recognize many of the last names of these young ladies as community members who played a significant roll in the earlier days of Mokena.
These young ladies are examples of community members who were committed to do good with their organization and made a real change in our community. That spirit of community lives on today in many of our civc organizations.
We hope you enjoy this episode sharing some pretty cool history about some of Mokena’s amazing women!
Thanks for listening!
