(Sample demonstration copy)

PART I. Opening Program

(Participants sit in a circle formation. Inside the circle, the four scouts holding a torch
stand representing the four directions.)

Voice over: In the beginning, God created the universe, he created the sun, the moon,
planets and stars. Then, it was not enough for Him. So, he decided to create plants
and animals for men to use in order to survive. But God was not happy, He finally
decided to create man. Man of his own image. However, it was not an ordinary man
but a scout. Lord, we beseech thee in thy mercy to give us light. Give us light…..
FIRST SCOUT: (LIGHT HIS TORCH) “This light represents the spirit of scouting. He
who lights of this torch will brighten the whole world.”
SECOND SCOUT: (LIGHT HIS TORCH) “This light reminds us the first point of the
scout oath “On my honor, I will do my best to do my duty to God and my country
the Republic of the Philippines.”
THIRD SCOUT: (LIGHT HIS TORCH) “This light represents the second point of he
scout oath “To help other people at all times.”

FOURTH SCOUT: (LIGHT HIS TORCH) “This light reminds us the third point of the
scout oath “To make myself physically strong, mentally awake and morally
straight.”

(Together they will move towards the prepared fire lay and lights it.)

(Campfire chief will stand)

CAMPFIRE CHIEF: “As the flames point upward so be our aims.

As the burning logs glow, so be our aspirations
As the fire warms around the circle, so may the
scouting spirit shines forth around the world,
And as the gray ashes fade, so be our shortcomings.

As the campfire chief of tonight’s campfire, I NOW DECLARE THIS

CAMPFIRE OPEN.
