Campfire's Burning

Activity

Take part in a campfire!

Campfires can be a quiet moment with a handful of close friends, or they can be a well-planned event to entertain hundreds. They’re a fantastic safe space for the singers, the storytellers, the actors, and the chefs to practice their talents. 

You can build a fire in lots of different shapes like stars, pyramids, towers and pits. Here’s some more information on fire styles and shapes that you could share with your group.  

A campfire doesn't care what uniform you wear – they bring everyone together, allowing Squirrels, Beavers, Cubs, Scouts, Explorers, Network and Leaders to share stories, memories, songs and jokes together.  Even when a real fire isn't an option, you can use torches, logs, and orange paper to create a glowing 'fire'.
