PART 3
I. QUIETING SONG (As the fire is dying, the atmosphere must also
be solemn and silent at this time. This also prepares the Scouts for
the Campfire chief’s yarn.)
Suggested songs:
PILIPINAS KONG MAHAL
Ang bayan ko'y tanging ikaw
Pilipinas Kong Mahal
Ang puso ko at buhay man
Sa iyo'y ibibigay
Tungkulin kong gagampanan
Na lagi kang paglingkuran
Ang laya mo'y babantayan
Pilipinas kong Hirang...

campfire chief may tell a story with a
moral lesson for the Scouts. Usually
anecdotes, real life experiences, or
stories that teach scouts to be honest,
good and obedient.)
III. DECLARATION OF THE CAMPFIRE CLOSE
Now the fading campfire light says, “It’s time to
say “Good Night”,
All the fun we’ve had today will soon belong to
yesterday.
But though the fire is dwindling low though the
flames to embers go We will ever keep the glow on
friendship in our hearts.
CAMPFIRE CHIEF: As the Campfire Chief, I declare this
Campfire closed
