Junior Woman's Relief Corps Badge

Never seen one of these before. It is a Woman's Relief Corps badge I found while metal detecting today. Gently cleaned with soap and water and a soft-bristled toothbrush to remove the dirt, revealed a lot of green patina on the badge. I've hunted around the net for the significance of the word "JUNIOR" in the center of the badge but can't find anything. I assume the WRC must have (or had in the past) some sort of a junior division for girls, 1883 is the date the corps was first created, not the year the badge was made, no way to tell how old it is. The script letters in the center are "FCL", I don't know what that stands for but it does appear on many such badges. The badge is exactly the same width and height as a Jefferson nickel (about 21 mm / 0.8 inches across).
