Kab Scout-Campfire Long
Kab Scout-Campfire Long
It is always an enjoyable occasion when the Kawan gets around a real campfire and open air and sing their favorite songs, give a yell or
two, act a short play; and when the embers start to fade, listen to the Kawan Leaders as she/he weaves a thrilling yarn. A few quiet
prayers follow and then finally, going to bed. The whole campfire should be kept quite short, 30 to 45 minutes, and held not too
frequently. The artificial campfire is of course a good substitute for a nainy evening. To be truly successful, a campfire must be more than
just a program around leaping flames. It must have a purpose, direction, and definite plan for what is to be accomplished.
