The National Child Welfare Association Girl Scouts posters were produced by the National Child Welfare Association in 1918 to promote the benefits of participation in the Girl Scouts, including the ways scouts contributed to the war effort during World War I. Each of the five posters in the set focused on a specific theme, namely the character traits developed through scouting, service, the World War I home front, health, and democracy. Color illustrations depict scouts engaged in useful activities to build character and become good citizens. Each poster measures approximately 17 x 28 inches.
