PART 3
I. QUIETING SONG
(As the 昀椀re is dying, the atmosphere must also be solemn and silent at this
time. This also prepares the Scouts for the Camp昀椀re chief’s yarn.)
Suggested songs:
PILIPINAS KONG MAHAL KUM BAH YAH
Ang bayan ko'y tanging ikaw /// Kum ba yah, my Lord,
Pilipinas Kong Mahal Kum ba yah! /// (3x)
Ang puso ko at buhay man Oh Lord Kum ba yah
Sa iyo'y ibibigay
1. Someone’s crying Lord...
Tungkulin kong gagampanan 2. Someone’s praying Lord...
Na lagi kang paglingkuran 3. Someone’s singing Lord...
Ang laya mo'y babantayan
Pilipinas kong Hirang...
II. CAMPFIRE CHIEF’S YARN
(The camp昀椀re 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
Version 1
As the embers turn to ashes
And as we droop our eyes in slumber
May you dream of the memories of this Camp昀椀re.
Version 2
Now the fading camp昀椀re light says, “It’s time to say “Good Night”,
All the fun we’ve had today will soon belong to yesterday.
Version 3
But though the 昀椀re is dwindling low though the 昀氀ames to embers go
We will ever keep the glow on friendship in our hearts.
CAMPFIRE CHIEF: As the Camp昀椀re Chief, I declare this Camp昀椀re closed
