Camp fire candy sales are starting in a few weeks and we are gearing up to spend many weekends out at store/bank selling events. This is such a good experience for kids, to organize the candy, get in uniform and then speak with the public about camp fire (and calculating the money works on math skills). I wasn't sure when i started my group how it would benefit the kids, but i learned quickly that kids are brave enough to speak with strangers, braver than most of us really and learn to speak up, clearly and politely. Educating the community about camp fire (so many people have never heard of camp fire!!) is also important. So if you are local, please support the kids out there who are trying to keep our council open and especially important in this economy, to keep our two camps up and running as well. thanks!!
