Scouting isn't just knots and compasses—it’s campfires, connection, and ceremony. The campfire program is the beating heart of a great Scout gathering, filled with laughter, reflection, song, and tradition. It sets the tone, brings Scouts together, and marks the moment as something special.
Whether you're opening a campfire with a solemn Scout Law or closing the night under the stars with "Taps" and stories, these ceremonial moments help Scouts build character, find belonging, and grow as leaders. You'll also find resources here for traditional flag ceremonies and respectful flag retirements, which continue the time-honored customs of Scouting and citizenship.
