SONGS
U.e lively songs in the begin-

softer, melodious songs as the
fire turns into embers.-
Lilting tunes set the mood:
"The Happy Wanderer," ,.I've
Been Working on rhe Railroad,'!
"The Far Northland."
Rounds are popularl ..We're

Triek songs always go ovcr

! utnr's NorHrNG in the world that can compare with sitting
I with your best friends in a close circle, undei the spell of th6
fire, watching the flickering flames, having a wondlrful time
together.
Around the patrol campfire, comradeship and patrol spirit grow.
As the fire is lit, you talk of the day that is gone and the tomor-
row that is to come. You discuss the plans for the rest of the camp.
And then, very possibly, you drift into talking about the troop, of
Scouting, of something else that's/on your minds. .,Let's have a
song!" finishes the discussion and starts a new mood. Another
song. A story by your patrol leader. And moments when you sit
silently together, looking into the embers, dreaming your own
dreams. The evening slips by. You stand up, facing the fire. Softly
you sing Taps: "Day is done. Gone the sun. . .',
For the patrol campfire, you need few preparations and no
program. You drift from song to song, from talk to silence. But
at the troop campfire and the large campfires of district and
council you need preparation in setting and staging, and a firmly
laid program of songs and stunts and skits and stories. Here are
some suggestions for your troop campfire. You will find many
m^ore in rhe Boy Scout pamphlet, "Fuir Around the Campfire;'
(Supply Service No. 3694) -
SETTING
Pick a spot for your campfire rhal
is beautiful. protected againsl thc
wind. free from mosquitoes, safe
for a good fire. Lay Gre log-
cabin style, with tinder near
"upper story" for top lighting.
STAGING
Ilave everylhing ready at the ap-
p-ointed time. with a good camp-
fire leader in charge. Lighr fire
in advance, or wilh ceremony,
by fire.by-fricrion. Makc props
qnd costumes for skits and .tirnts.
SKITS
A patrol 6kir will ger all rhe
fellows of the gang into the act
you are 6marl enough to
-if
piek a skit that has enough-char-
aclers to start with, or have the
imaginalion to expand lhe lisl
of eharacters with a part for
everyone, or to use the rest of
the fellows as slagehands. eacll
with some t'stage business.;'
Suitable skirs are found in
(Fun Around the Camplire.,,
Some campers will have seen
own, from a funny episorie
has happened in camp, a srorp
you have read, a sketch you have
heard on the radio or secn ou
TV, a joke from an old Boys'
Ltrn, an Indian dance. Scour-
craft, or an acted-oul poenr or
song.
