The Supreme Emblem Club of the United States of America is the unofficial auxiliary of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.

[1] The order was organized during World War I by a group of female relatives of the Elks who met to wrap bandages to send to wounded soldiers overseas.

[2] The group eventually decided to turn their circle into a regular club and was chartered in the State of Rhode Island on April 27, 1926.

[3] During the first year, nine affiliates, known as Emblem Clubs, were formed in Rhode Island, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, and Connecticut.

In earlier years, membership was limited to the wives, mothers, sisters, daughters, stepdaughters and widows of members of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.

[1] Currently, in 2018, the Supreme Emblem Club of the United States of America is facing a rapidly declining membership.

For example, Hartford Emblem Club # 150 from Hartford, VT has just twenty members, whereas Billerica, Massachusetts has over 200 members The Emblem Club has adopted a formal program to support Americanism, and sets aside one week in June each year as "Americanism week".
