Songs and Graces

From Outdoor Trainer Laura Hart:

FYI, here’s a few more good resources for songs…

http://www.gscmchorus.org/the-songbook/ (their songbook is attached, but I also love the website because they have many audio/video clips here to help with tunes; click on the song listing once on the website)

Friendship Ashes

Legend has it that Lord Baden-Powell would always take a small amount of ashes from the campfire and spread these ashes into the next campfire.

Ashes taken from a campfire were sprinkled into the flames of the next campfire. The next morning when the ashes were cold, they were stirred and each person took some with them to mix with the next campfire.

If more than one person brought ashes to the campfire, the lists were combined, the dates and places of all campfires were recorded and passed on. It is a tradition that only those actually present at the campfire can receive the ashes.
