I am a cub scout leader, and have been for over 15 years
now. Somehow, despite not having the best voice, I have ended up being the one
who runs our camp fires. I have collected quite a few songs over the years, and
this blog is intended to share some of them. I will also look for some good sketches, skits and similar - some are best run by the campfire leader, others by the scouts, explorers or another leader.
When I am putting together a program for a camp fire, I
try to include a mix of action songs, response songs, yells, sing-alongs and
the old traditional scouting songs. For cubs, I will aim to run the camp fire
for about 30-40 minutes; around eight songs, a sketch and a couple of yells. I
personally always end the camp fire with Kum By Ah, with a prayer spoken over a
hummed verse, but that’s just my own preference.
