Campfire Ashes |
|
It has been the tradition of some Scouting groups in the Seneca District to scatter the ashes of a previous fire over the glowing fire and embers of a campfire. In the morning some of the cold ashes are gathered up by each Cub, Scout and/or Leader in small containers and saved until the next campfire. Our ashes have been dated back to 1933 via the United States.
Statement before the ceremony:
We carry the spirit of our friendships with us in the form of these ashes - memories of other campfires with other Scouts and Guides of other lands. May the joining of these ashes with the leaping flames of this new fire symbolize once more the unbroken chain that binds Scouts and Guides around the world. With greetings from Scouts and Guides everywhere, these ashes have been carried by Canadian, American and British Scouts and Guides around the world. They have come from campfires beginning in 1933 from the following countries:
Austria
Canada
Columbia
England
FranceGermany
Greece
Holland
Ireland
Japan
KoreaLuxembourg
Liechtenstein
Mexico
Netherlands
Norway
