Camp Beanies and Headgear   Colored beanies and other hats were popular at camps in the early years. They were sometimes used by camp societies. Order of the White Swastikas, Order of the Ancient Oak, The Mystic Circle, Gimogash, etc. Sometimes they were Honor Camper identification and other times they were just camp hats available at the trading post. Camp Owasippe had beanies and each camp had it’s own color, but they had nothing to do with advancement or achievement. How scarce are some of the beanies? I’ve collected Owsippe for 50 years and have never seen one. Dan Beard-Green & White James E.

Purple & Green. Different colors for the same year, seems to indicate that they were for levels of achievement or tenure.        H for Honors at Camp Cleland 1936.
