mothbyte 1 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 Do you guys have any suggestions for folkloric stories to share as a "cooldown" during a nice campfire? I'm looking for something with Native American or Norse roots, something with a solemn mood. Share what works in your troops! Link to post Share on other sites
RememberSchiff 3662 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 The Story of Two Wolves is short and direct, good for closing a campfire and reinforcing the Scout Oath and Law. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
NDW5332 45 Posted June 4, 2019 Share Posted June 4, 2019 When I was a mere Tiger Den Leader, I took OWL training, and one of the presenters was a 90 year old Scouter and he explained the importance of a good campfire story. Then he proceeded to recite "The Cremation of Sam McGee" from memory. While I found the prose to far over the heads of a group of Tigers, I think that poem's mix of an outdoor tale, humor, and the macabre is perfect for older Scouts. Link to post Share on other sites
