Campfire

Campfires

Campfire is the best part of any camping a scout attends. It is the time for the scouts to relax and refresh. It is the time for the scouts to bring out their latent talents . It is the time for the scouts to get rid of their stage fear and grow their team spirit and co-operation along with their leadership traits.

 

The Purpose of Conducting Campfires

• Playacting, stories, songs and music can all be used effectively in a campfire program
• The campfire circle can be a very memorable experience for your youth and a place to create memories and dreams
• It’s a great way for youth to learn to express themselves, and have a feeling of togetherness with other youth.

 

Types of Campfires

• Formal – very structured, follows a traditional outline; may be too rigid for younger youth
• Informal – less structured, but still follows a traditional outline
• Singsong – an unstructured gathering that doesn’t necessarily use a set outline
• Campfires can also be held indoors using an artificial campfire.

 

Campfire Etiquette

Before a formal campfire, discuss the rules of good campfire etiquette:

• Enter the campfire circle silently
• Sit in a circle around the fire. Running around and horseplay are not permitted
• Do not poke sticks or throw garbage into the fire
• Be courteous to others; do not talk during a song or skit
• Cheer all contributors for doing their best
• Keep flashlights turned off after entering the campfire circle
• Leave the campfire circle in silence.

Encourage members to wear their campfire blankets if they have them.

Building a Campfire

• Check with local authorities to see if you need a fire permit, and how to obtain it
• Keep campfires small and use existing fire pits wherever possible
• Gather dead wood only, and have a sufficient supply for the length of your campfire
• Never leave a fire/live coals unattended
• Make sure your campfire is extinguished and cold before moving on
• Follow “leave no trace” rule if using a new site.

 

Types of fires

You can use several types of fire styles for a campfire:

• As a Pyramid style burns, the coals fall into the middle, helping the fire burn downward
• A Log Cabin style is one often used for campfires. The idea is to let the fire burn slowly and die down as the campfire program nears its end.

 

Fire Clean Up

• When the fire has burned itself out, sprinkle water over the ashes, stirring them occasionally to ensure that they are completely extinguished
• If you’ve developed a new campfire site, scatter the ashes and replace the sod or decomposing material from the forest floor, returning the site to its original condition.

 

Fire Pits (1)

“Leave no trace” rule for building a campfire in a new site:

• Gather enough sand or gravel to build a base at least 7-9 cm deep and about 60 cm in diameter
• Scatter the sand/gravel after the fire has completely burned out and has been extinguished with water
• When sand isn’t available, locate a grassy area where you can carefully cut out a section of sod or remove the decomposing materials.

 

Fire Pits (2)

• Never build directly on the forest floor, exposed rocks, roots or near low hanging branches or trees
• Dig a shallow pit down to the mineral soils or gravel
• Now, build your fire in the hole
• Afterwards, when your fire has completely burned out and all ashes have been extinguished with water, replace the sod and soil
• If you must build it on a rock, find one big and flat enough to contain it; once the fire is completely extinguished, turn the rock over to hide the blackened scar.

 

Environmental Issues

• Campfires today are a luxury in many places
• Scouting is committed to the principles of land stewardship, wise use of natural resources and no-trace camping techniques
• Uncontrolled burning in campsites can leave many unsightly fire scars over time
• Use guidelines to minimize your campfire’s impact on the environment
• The saying “take only pictures, leave only footprints” applies to campfires and other camping activities.

 

How to make the campfire programme effective and impressive?

The campfire program should have a definite, planned structure. It should happen similarly to how a fire burns – starting small, building to a bright excitement, and then tapering off to glowing embers. Moreover, the best campfires are well planned, yet look spontaneous. They are planned and rehearsed in advance of the campfire program. There are typically three parts to a typical campfire. They are:

Part 1: Opening – The opening includes parading to the formal circle, introductions, the fire lighting, and a short, upbeat opening verse that sets the mood and guidelines for the fire and welcomes people to the magic of the experience

Part 2: Campfire Program –The Campfire Program is the main portion containing skits songs, stories, stuns or games

Part 3: Closing – The closing of the camp fire is even more important than the opening. A solemn, quiet, impressive closing is an excellent preparation for a quiet, orderly end of the program

Planning a Successful Event Campfire

Planning Process

Ideally the patrol responsible for the Campfire Program (the Program Patrol) and Master of Ceremonies for the campfire program are assigned at the monthly PLC meeting along with the already established monthly educational themes. The Master of Ceremonies and Program Patrol works with all Patrol Leaders in the troop to create a successful campfire.

1. The Program Patrol responsible for a specific campfire’s planning form
2. All Patrol Leaders or assigned patrol member determine (in advance) what skit, riddle, and mystery the Patrol will perform and report to the Program Patrol.
3. The Patrol Leader or assigned patrol member is responsible for scheduling and practicing skit prior to the campfire program
4. The Program Patrol turns the Campfire Planner into the Senior Patrol Leader for approval the week prior to the campout.

 

The Program Patrol and Master of Ceremonies should follow several common-sense rules:

 Complete the Campfire Planner

 Preview new or unfamiliar skits

 Reserve the right to edit or veto Patrol skits, within reason of course.

o No inappropriate language or ethnic humor is allowed.

 Be respectful and affirming of everyone.

 Remind participants to bring whatever properties they need.

 Remind everyone to speak loudly, so all can hear.

 

Guidelines for Planning

Some general guidelines for planning the campfire program are:

 Keep the program short

o 40 to 50 minutes being about right for Scouts and Venturers

 Skits are usually never longer than 3 to 5 minutes and are ideally somewhere around 90 seconds.

 Get skits in place quickly; otherwise all the momentum gained in the evening is disrupted.

 Avoid ad-hoc or unplanned skits from Patrols, because they usually aren’t funny, are too long and don’t make any sense, not to mention the Scouts forget what they’re supposed to say and do

 Rehearse the skit beforehand. It will increase the Scouts confidence and can help to avoid whispering, fumbling, amnesia, arguing about who says what, and all sorts of problems.

 Campfire Material must pass Appropriateness Test

o Consistent with Scout Law

 friendly, courteous, kind

 Song, Stunts, Skits, and Cheers should not embarrass or demean any person or group.

 Gray areas to stay away from:

 Underwear

 Inside jokes

 Cross-gender impersonation

 Use of alcohol, tobacco, drugs

 Water

 Watch out for using or modifying skits that touch on sensitive topics

 Skits that are based on Ethnic or handicapped targets are not acceptable

 

Campfire Etiquette

The Campfire Master of Ceremonies makes sure Scouts follow proper campfire etiquette including the following:

 Prohibit flashlights from the circle.

 No unwanted Clapping or Booing – that’s why we have ‘cheers/regulated scout claps’

 No Talking – unless you’re involved in an activity, talking spoils the mood and detracts from whatever is going on.

o Make a no-talking rule.

 The campfire circle is sacred and always quiet before and after the fire.

 If wood needs to be added to the fire during the campfire, only the Keeper of the Flame may do it.

 No booing.

 Crowd control is easier if you insist on silence as the group enters the campfire ring. Make sure there is sufficient light so they can find their seats.

 Discipline is important. Squelch any horseplay immediately. Encourage enthusiasm, but maintain control.

 Get everyone involved in songs or stunts.

 Recognition should be a part of every campfire program. Have a number of cheers planned; be prepared to explain and show them, then let the group cheer each group of performers.

 Inspiration contributes to showmanship and is essential to a successful campfire.

 Quiet as the embers die. Ask everyone to leave the campfire circle quietly.

 

Campfire Discipline

The Master of Ceremonies is the leader of the campfire program and needs to maintain control. Below are some guidelines:

 Be tough but tactful when someone may be interrupting the campfire

 Address problems immediately – Scouts can get out of hand easily & quickly

 When friendly requests fail:

o Follow patrol method

 Ask Patrol Leader for assistance, if that fails

 Ask Assistant Senior Patrol Leader or Senior Patrol Leader for assistance, if that fails

 Ask Assistant Scout Master or Scout Master for assistance

 

The Campfire Program Planner

Be sure that every feature of this campfire program upholds Scouting’s highest traditions.

1. In a campfire planning meeting, fill in the top of the “Campfire Program” sheet (over)
2. On the “Campfire Program Planner”, list all units and individuals who will participate in the program
3. From each get and write down the name, description, and type of song, stunt or story they have planned.
4. The master-of-the-campfire organizes songs, stunts, and stories in a good sequence, considering timing, variety, smoothness, and showmanship.
5. M.C. makes out the campfire program sheet.
6. Copies of the program are given to all participants.

Get the Feedback

Ask the participants both the scouts and the scoutmasters to give a feedback on the quantity and quality of programs and the way by which the whole campfire program was conducted. This true feedback ( oral or written) has guided me on the reshaping and redesigning the campfire in the forthcoming days.

 

 

 

All Faith Prayer

Prayer

Prayer means communication with God. Prayer will lead us into dependence upon God. A person completely declared before God “I am nothing” and God is supreme. And declare without God I am nothing. Prayer involves many aspects. Prayer produces faith. A person with faith without prayer is like a skeleton less a body. Prayer will lead us to confession. Prayer will lead us to conviction. Prayer will lead us to conformation. Prayer leads us to declaration. Prayer will lead us to make decisions of righteousness. Prayer will lead us to stand firm in God. Prayer will lead us to a victorious life.

 

Respect of Others’ Beliefs

The Scout Law teaches, “A Scout is reverent. A Scout is reverent toward God. He is faithful in his religious duties. He respects the beliefs of others.” It is important that Scouts be taught to recognize the beliefs of other Scouts and to respect those beliefs. Scout outings and activities that span weekends should include an opportunity for members to meet their religious obligations. When planning an interfaith service, it is recommended that scripture, prayers, hymns, and all other parts of the worship be considerate of everyone present—respectful of all religions.

 

Purposes & Benefits of Multifaith Prayer

Multifaith prayer is an effort to symbolize and actualize the aspiration toward interreligious unity.

More specifically, multifaith prayer:

• Acknowledges the rich diversity of humankind’s spiritual traditions.
• Affirms the unity and solidarity of the human family while respecting religious differences.

“Unity amidst diversity” is the keyword here.

• Provides an occasion and a safe environment to build and nurture relationships among faith traditions and among individuals in these traditions.
• Appreciates common ethical values and a common search for truth.
• Exposes individuals to the prayer, meditation, musical and ritual expressions of other religions.
• Inspires common action in the realms of charity, healing, community service, social justice, scholarship, global issues and spiritual & religious care.
• Provides an occasion to practice interreligious hospitality.

Four All Faith Prayer Meetings I conducted in my Troop

Court-of-Honour

Court-of-Honour ( COH) of my troop was called for to discuss and decide about the all faith prayer meetings scheduled to be held by our troop in our vidyalaya premises. The opinions of various patrol leaders were considered and consulted.

Permission from the Principal

With the minutes of the COH meeting, our troop got the permission from the Principal to hold all faith prayer meetings in the Vidyalaya premises in the said dates.

Meeting of Scouters

The scoutmaster and assistant scoutmaster of my troop met in the scout room and formed various committees and fixed in-charges for performing following tasks relating to the conduct of All faith prayer meetings.

1. Purchase of materials like oil, agarbathi, flowers, thiri, candles and a match box.
2. Xeroxing and distribution of all faith prayer pamphlets
3. Giving practice to the lead group
4. Selection of scouts belonging to different religions

2. Scouts belonging to different religions were voluntarily invited to offer individual prayer during the all faith prayer meeting. These scouts were asked to offer their prayer in front of the scoutmaster to check their voice and verses chosen.

Seating Plan of other scouts

• The bed sheets brought by the scouts and guides were spread over the hall in a symmetrical way to present a pleasant seating design.
• All the scouts were given a copy of the all faith prayer songs.
• They were all briefed on the way they have to enter the hall and the way they have to exit after the all faith prayer.
• They were also instructed on the importance of keeping quiet, without talking , during the entire course of all faith prayer programme.
• All the scouts were asked to remove the shoes and enter the hall
• Two non-scouts were asked to stand near the entrance of the hall to stop the scouts who may visit the hall after the starting of the all faith prayer.

Notice board

1. The information about the all faith prayer meeting was made available in the S &G Notice board and general notice board of the Vidyalaya.
2. A separate board mentioning the order of songs to be offered during the all faith prayer was placed in the hall.
3. The aforesaid special board had symbols of various religions drawn over there by our beloved scouts.

6. Demand for more such prayers from my scouts

 

Camping

Organized camping is defined as an experience of group living in an outdoor  environment. It is a multi-level experience under the supervision of trained leadership. The program of activities provides fun and adventure in the outdoors at a site that provides seclusion and natural resources. Emphasis is placed on new experiences difficult to obtain in the usual indoor den atmosphere.

 

Objectives of camping

• Has a primary goal of helping patrols succeed.
• Strengthens patrol organization for better year-round operation.
• Is an excellent medium for attaining the purposes of the Scout Movement : character development, citizenship training, and personal fitness.
• Is a valuable aid in the progression.
• Meets individual boy’s needs and interests by offering a meaningful and educational
• Scouting program.
• Provides a method of recruiting, training, and inspiring present and future scout leadership.
• Promotes fun and adventure with a purpose— the reasons why Scouts join and why they remain Scouts.

 

Factors to be considered before starting a camp

Scout camping can be held almost any time that leaders, boys, space, and a program are available. Usually, camps are held in the summer when boys are out of school; however, they can be held on Saturdays, during vacation days, or during school days for special groups. The program is flexible enough to be conducted just about anywhere, at any time. Before starting a scout camp, consider the following questions:

• What is your “target group” of boys?
• When will these boys be available for camp?
• Can you conduct your day camp when they are available?
• What is the location?
• Is this location perceived by the community to be “safe”?
• What kind of program can you offer?
• What equipment is available?
• What kind of facilities will this program require?
• What specific facilities are available?
• Is equipment storage space available?
• What will you do about transportation for boys , staff, and equipment?
• What will you do about meals?
• What must you do to guarantee safety?
• Can you meet the minimum camp standards with the selected location, program, and staff?
• What will be your detailed, day-by-day program?
• How many hours per day do you plan to operate the camp?
• What staff will be required?
• Will staff be volunteers, paid staffers, or a combination of both?
• Where will you recruit your staff?
• What are the sources of income to meet the day camp’s budget?
• How will you promote attendance?
• How many Scouts do you anticipate will sign up for camp?
• Are you ready and able to give Scouts and their volunteer leaders a worthwhile experience that will help achieve Scout objectives in a scout camp this summer? If not, what must you do to prepare yourself?

 

Some Factors for Success:

Planning, Promoting, and Presenting

The motivation and purpose of Scouting are important factors in influencing boys of Cub Scout age as they take part in your day camp. The activities of the program, in addition to being fun adventures for the boys, should embody the basic objectives of the Boy Scouts of America—character development, citizenship training, and mental and physical fitness. The day camp should complement and strengthen the Cub Scout program of the den and pack if it is to be a true success. Refer to this brief checklist often to assess progress and avoid last-minute difficulty:

1. Involve the camping committee.
2. Follow a timetable.
3. Check state and local laws and national day camp standards.

4 Plan your budget and promotion.

5. Plan transportation.
6. Check camp facilities and hazards.
7. Check rainy-day facilities and shelter from sun and wind.
8. Arrange for water certification.
9. Check equipment needs—tables, tents, flies, copies of the Incident Information Report, No. 680-016; first-aid logs; emergency vehicles; etc.
10. Notify fire and police departments of your plans; make arrangements with hospitals for emergency situations.
11. Secure storage for craft and sports equipment, and locked storage for records and valuables. Secure any local permits needed.
12. Plan the program and recruit staff.
13. Involve council professional staff—let them feel that they are a part of it, even if they are not directly responsible.

 

 

CAMPSITE

Select a campsite in an outdoor area where skills and activities can be conducted successfully. A park, ranch, canyon, lakeside, or Scout camping area is appropriate. In selecting a site, consider the following:

1. Distance to travel
2. Permission to use the area
3. Permission to build fires
4. Firewood for practice with knife and ax, for cooking fires, and for the campfire
5. Sanitary facilities
6. Drinking water

 

TRANSPORTATION

Prepare carefully to ensure ample and proper transportation. Cars should not be overcrowded. Select safe drivers; do not overload cars; and do not transport boys in a truck or camper, except in the cab. Primary leaders may seek help from parents, Scouters, and priesthood leaders. The bishopric adviser to the Primary should be informed of transportation arrangements.

 

SAFETY

During activities conducted at day camp, follow safety precautions to avoid accidents. If the entrance to the day camp is located on a busy highway, request the local police or trained Explorers, in full uniform, to direct traffic.

 

PERMISSION SLIPS AND TOUR PERMITS

Permission slips and a tour permit may be required for this day camp activity. Consult with the troop committee or the local Scout council.

 

FOOD

Food is an essential part of the day camp. It may be provided by a camp staff, by the stake and ward leaders, or by the boys and their families. The kinds of food provided will depend on the type of meal planned. The boys may cook their own lunch or be served by the staff. Match the food to the occasion. If the leaders serve a family dinner, families should make their reservations and pay in advance.

 

DAY CAMP ASSIGNMENT CHART

Skills are taught more readily when the number of boys at a skill station is not too large. When large numbers of boys attend camp, assign them to several different groups and have each skill station repeat its instructions. Use an assignment chart so that the leaders and the boys know to which skill or activity station to report at what hour. The leadership of each camp should prepare its own chart.

 

PATROL ASSIGNMENT CHART

The leader and the boys should sign in when they arrive so that the names and number of those participating are available. At this time, the leader should obtain a patrol assignment chart to use throughout the day.

 

VISITORS

Visitors are welcome at any time at the day camp. Families of the boys could receive a special invitation to attend a day camp tournament, a family dinner, or the closing event.

 

Court of Honour

The Court of Honour of the troop was called for to discuss and decide various issues on the conduct of weekend camps. The input of all the patrol leaders and chairman of the court of honour was taken into account by the scoutmaster.

Permission from the principal

The minutes of the COH meeting was presented to the Principal for further consent. Principal’s permission to conduct week end camp in the Vidyalaya premises was obtained.

Committees formed

The following committees were formed to conduct the weekend scout camp in a smoother and efficient way.

1. Accommodation committee
2. Mess committee
3. Documentation committee
4. Photos and Videos committee
5. Sessions committee
6. Ceremony committee
7. Session arrangement in-charge
8. Campfire committee
9. Hike committee
10. Furniture committee
11. Guest arrangement committee
