The Campfire Jamboree was a huge success, even with wet sticks, complete darkness, and car batteries dying! The weather was mild and sunny, and the fall leaves were a perfect background!
The girls started the night by filling two garbage sacks with trash that was around our campsite, and down the trail to the lake, and along the small beach area at our site. Then we had our opening Flag Ceremony lead by the Yellow Banana Monsters, and the other girls checked their jobs. Then they all helped gather wood for our campfire.
A wonderful local Boy Scout, named Jed, attended and taught the girls fire safety, and how to build a campfire, the girls can't wait to try on their own at our next camp out! The girls then rewarded Jed with earning the Outdoor Cooking badge and feeding him a feast of a dinner that included beans and wieners, hobo soup, pudding, and roasted apples, with hot chocolate to drink. FYI to all the Pampered Chef lovers out there.. the big stock pot holds up to campfire cooking! No scorch marks or melting to the handles!
Our leader in training, Megan, led us in learning several Frontier Girls songs such as, I Points to Myself, I'm a Little Pile of Tin, 3 Chartrusse Buzzards, and Down By The Banks.
We ended the night with a discussion of the Make A Difference Award, and passed around a few ideas on how to earn it.
Reminder: Please bring an item for our Care Package for our serviceman, Todd Mattson to our November 28th meeting.
