You are right. But the swastika was also an Indian symbol and she’s dressed as an Indian. My grandma (who was not an Indian) did a pencil sketch of an Indian in about 1910 and it has swastikas on it. I’m going to give the future Mrs K the benefit of the doubt on this one.

That symbol goes all throughout the continent of Asia too, including the Indians from India. There are two Han (Chinese) character versions of it as well: 卐 and 卍.
The pic with Jackie (then Bouvier) wearing the Campfire Girl costume in question dates to 1941, FWICS.
