  • 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,

Baden-Powell is acclaimed the ‘Chief Scout of the World’. He said, "If it be your will, let us go forth from here fully determined that we will develop, among ourselves and our boys, a comradeship through the worldwide spirit of the Scout brotherhood, so that we may help to develop peace and happiness in the world and goodwill among men."

  • History of the Fleur-De-Lis.Pub
    Cub Scout Pack 409 Origin of the World Scouting Symbol the "Fleur-de-Lis" In Scouting's early years, critics accused Baden-Powell of trying to turn boys into soldiers, holding up as evidence the Scout symbol, which they called "a spear-head, the emblem of battle and bloodshed". The Founder quickly replied, The crest is the "Fleur-de-Lis", a lily, the emblem of peace and purity. In truth, he had chosen as Scouting's emblem the sign for the North Point, universally shown on maps, charts and compass cards, because "it points in the right direction (and upwards), turning neither to the right nor left, since these lead backward again..." Lady Baden-Powell added later, "It shows the true way to go." Baden-Powell explained the origins of this sign. In the Middle Ages, mariner Flavio Gioja designed it to make the seaman's compass more reliable. In Italian, North was "Tramontana". Gioja used a capital "T" to mark it, and in deference to King Charles of Naples, whose crest was the Fleur-de-Lis, combined the letter with that em- blem. To explain the meaning of the Scout emblem, Ba- den-Powell said, "The two stars on the two side arms stand for the two eyes of the Wolf Cub having been opened before he became a Scout... The three points of the Fleur-de-Lis remind the Scout of the three points of the Scout's Promise." In the World Scout emblem, the Fleur-de-Lis is surrounded by a circle of rope tied with a reef knot to symbolize the strength and unity of the world brotherhood of Scouting: "Even as one cannot undo a reef knot, no matter how hard one pulls on it, so as it expands, the movement remains united." The three tips of the Fleur-de-Lis represent the three main parts of the Scout prom- ise: duty to God, obedience to the Scout Law, and service to others.
