What is a campfire?

• Opportunity to get together to share fellowship!• Opportunity for Scouts to practice public speaking skills!• Opportunity for Scouts to showcase performance skills

and to learn new ones!• Opportunity to encourage creativity in our Scouts!• Opportunity for ALL to participate!

(notice the word “Scouts”, not “adults”)

Successful Campfires -

• 4 “S”– Songs, Stunts, Stories, Showmanship

• “Follow the Flames”– When the fire is high – high energy songs,

skits, stunts– When the fire dies down – slower songs,

quieter activities, stories.

• 45 -60 minutes maximum • Plan well, Do it, send them off!
