Campfire Ashes Pamphlet2008.Pages
The Campfire Ashes Ashes taken from a campfire are sprinkled into the flames of the next campfire. The next morning, when the ashes are cold, they are stirred and each Girl Scout takes some with her to mix with her next campfire. If more than one Girl Scout brings ashes to the same campfire, the lists are combined—the dates and places of all campfires are recorded and passed on. As Girl Scouts travel, these ashes can circle the globe. It is the tradition that those actually present at the campfire can receive the ashes. “We carry our fellowship with us in these ashes from other campfires with other comrades in other lands. May the joining of the dead fires with the leaping flames symbolize once more the unbroken chain that binds Girl Scouts and Girl Guides around the world.” These ashes are from: 1925 National “Get Together”, Virginia, USA 1949 World Encampment, Camp Edith Macy, NY, USA Lady Baden-Powell 1950 Roundup, USA 1889-1977 1952 Regional Roundup, USA 1953 Regional Roundup, USA 1957 Australia and Canada 1959 National Roundup, Colorado Springs, CO, USA; National Junior Roundup, USA 1960 Kelowna, British Columbia Girl Guide Camp, CANADA International Encampment, SWEDEN Our Chalet, SWITZERLAND All State Encampment, USA International Campfire, GERMANY 1961 Roundup, USA 1962 National Roundup, Button Bay, VT, USA Our Chalet, SWITZERLAND 1963 All States Encampment, MI, USA All States Campout, AZ, USA 1964 All State Arizona Project, USA 1965 All State Campout, NC, USA Girl Guides, HOLLAND Tierra del Oro/Kelowna British Columbia Gypsy Tour,
