CAMPFIRE
A Ceremony that gives a feeling of togetherness. It
seals friendship, develops closeness and camaraderie
while learning from one another.
Campfire program is a gathering of Scouts, troop
leaders, and family members for fun and
fellowship. Despite its name, it doesn't have to take
place at night, nor does it have to include an actual
fire.
