Campfire Safety Rules. Whenever you build a fire, make sure the area is clear of overhanging branches, steep slopes, rotted stumps or logs, dry grass and leaves, and cleared of anything that could burn, like litter or pine needles.
Be sure your campfire book has a cover, a title page, table of contents, section title pages and a resource list. Learn songs to fit the different parts of a campfire program: opening, action, participation, reflective and inspirational, and closing. If possible, attend a song workshop.
these safety tips: • Tie back your hair and wear long pants. • Have a bucket of water and a shovel ready before building your fire. You might need to smother the fire with dirt, or to stir wet coals when you put it out. Let the fire die down until only ashes are left. • Then use a long stick or shovel to stir the ashes.
