The Campfire Planning Worksheet is printed two-sided. The back side is

where you plan the program. The front side is the program agenda, in proper

order, used by the Master of Ceremonies.

Have your Patrols work on skits, songs, stunts, etc. Plan a time

when a representative of each Patrol will come to you with the name and

type of each item that they will do. Write them on the back side, in the

appropriate place, in no particular order. Make sure that if you are not familiar

with something they plan to do that you have them perform it for you -- this could

avoid an embarrassing situation.

When you have all possible skits, cheers, songs -- even those that the

Master of Ceremonies will lead -- written on the planning section, consider how

to put them together into a program. As you read above, a Campfire Program

should start slowly and quietly, build to a high level, then taper off to a quiet

closing. Bracket everything with appropriate opening and closing songs or

readings. Mix up the items in the middle for variety. You might consider some

stories near the end to wind things down before the closing.
