Hi Pam
This is a great idea. Boys love campfires. To add realism, don't set up any
chairs. Have the boys sit on the floor just like a real campfire and ask
the parents bring lawn chairs or blankets. You need to have something that
prevents the excited Scouts from scooting up so close that you don't have
room for your program. I put a few small fireplace logs on the ground
(floor) that sets a boundary. I do this at real campfires for safety as
well. Turn the lights down. We turn on a couple of electric lanterns. One
time I brought a couple bags of marshmallows and let the Scouts pass them
around. They can't roast them but it was still fun and sets the mood a
little more. Wear what you would normally wear outside like hiking boots,
light jacket and shorts. Rub your hands together over the fire to get them
warm.
Campfires are the best. I wish I could be there.
