Green Rag Society
Camp Eberhart has the following elaborate plan: The camp emblem itself
represents the first degree and the camper must be in camp for one full
week before he can wear it. The emblem is a brown triangle with a large E
placed upon it with a green background. A green bar is added for each year
spent in camp. The second, third and fourth degrees are indicated by a
small green star, to be placed at the points of the triangle, beginning at
the lowest point, then the upper left, then the upper right. The second
degree will be awarded by the first star, the third degree by the second
star, also entitling the winner to membership in the "Brown Rag" Society.
The fourth degree will be awarded by the third star and the winner be
entitled to membership in the "Green Rag" Society.
Membership in the "Green Rag" Society is the highest honor the camp can
bestow. The following are the requirements for the higher degrees.
