Girl Scouts' 100th Anniversary Event: Part 1- Fire Building






At the 100th Anniversary Event of Girl Scouts, there were a lot of fun stations for the girls.  There were a total of 10 stations, and they rotated through every 15 minutes. 

This event was fire building.  The girls learned how to make an a-frame fire and a log cabin (square) fire.  They learned about kindling, among other things.  Do not use green limbs because they will not burn well.  You must find wood that is already dead (not on the tree). 

The last thing they did before they left this station was to light a match.  Very scary, as each girl was able to try to light the match all by themselves.  Luckily for all involved, it all went well =)  Jaden and Morgan both lit their matches like experts and quickly threw the lit matches in to the bucket of water.  Way to go!!
