Three Tiger Cubs sitting in a chair. When you are a kid, there isn’t much that is cooler than the campfire on a camping trip. But the one thing that can make it better is being able to enjoy it with friends.
The guys had been busy all day with hiking, making crafts, setting up camp and dinner. They even got to cook dinner on a “Leave No Trace” cook-fire.
The leave no trace fire involved setting out a tarp, putting a few inches of dirt on top of the tarp, then building the fire on top of the dirt. After cooking and letting the charcoal burn completely, the ashes were disposed of in a safe receptacle, while the dirt was spread spread around the area. We folded up the tarp and put it back in the truck.
Of course, the campfire was in a fire ring that was built by the venue for that purpose. And before the Cub Scouts left, after camping for the weekend, they walked it and picked up anything that didn’t belong… leaving the site cleaner than when they arrived.
