Calling all Girl Scouts! Want to make your next camping trip a success? Your troop will learn the skills necessary to build a successful campfire from scratch. We'll provide the wood and you will learn how to scavenge for the right tinder materials, and properly create the correct placement for a good 'ole campfire (without using man made fire starters or lighter fluid). There may be a contest involved to see who builds the best fire, tested by roasting marshmallows and making s'mores as a reward to a well earned task!
