EQUIPMENT: Real or artificial campfire, seven candles.

PERSONNEL: Narrator and seven Cub Scouts (each with his part written on a slip of paper).

NARRATOR: Welcome to the Cub Scout campfire. Akela is among us. Let us draw from this campfire with all its vibrance and warmth, the secrets of Cub Scouting and the spirit of brotherhood.

CUB 1: In its light we see new chances to be helpful and to do our best.

CUB 2: From its warmth we strengthen the bonds of fellowship and learn how to get along with others.

CUB 3: From the stones that ring the fire and keep its power in check, we learn how we can curb our tempers and become good citizens.

CUB 4: From the smoke that rises our of the fire, we learn to lift our eyes upward and worship God.

CUB 5: The spark that started this fire reminds us that little Good Turns can lead to greater deeds.

CUB 6: Just as the fire needs wood to burn bright, so do we need the care and love of our parents to burn brightly.

CUB 7: In it leaping flames, we see the fun of Cub Scouting and the job of life.
