Campfire

Tonight the scout group held the first campfire in the new "quiet place" near their hall.  The fire was roaring, and more like a bonfire of old than a campfire.  I remember them like that when I was a kid.   It was an official opening of the "place", as well as the occasion for investing a new scout leader, awarding several awards and commendations, and years- of -service awards.    The treasurer announced the winners of the raffle ticket selling competition, and happily told us that $2000 has been raised.


Then of course, the obligatory supper.  What a feast, and when the hungry hordes descended like seagulls, everything was eaten.     An enjoyable evening was had by all, its good to see Scouting alive and well in Castlemaine.
