In communities like these, why compete? Campfire is an excellent program
with the same ideals and goals as BSA and GSUSA. Get involved to make a
strong program. Campfire kids can and do participate in the same
activities as Boy and Girl Scouts. Their program is similar to both and
those earning their WAHELO award do just as much work including the
community service as Eagle or Gold awards require.
