Campfire Ash Ceremony

Campfires have always been a special tradition in Scouting.  Often accompanied by Songs or Skits or even toasted marshmallows.  For many it's not so much as the activity around the fire that makes it memorable, often times its the the people that you share the campfire circle with.  Exchanging of stories and kindling friendships or even just talking about life and lessons learned.  

For those who received a special ash tube from me, below is the link for the record of where those ashes have originated.  Representing countless stories, skits, songs, and people that have come together ALL OVER THE WORLD and sat around these ashes.  I first received these ashes while serving on staff at the 2001 National Scout Jamboree at Fort A.P. Hill.  During my time as Scoutmaster at Troop 3 I decided to add those ashes to these to honor and remember all the young men that had sat around a fire with me.  What special times they hold.
