Campfire 'Circle'
For years following Greater Saint Louis Area Council campfires the staff has stood in a circle and sung songs*. This tradition has continued to the reunions with a large camp staff circle that we can all join in, and sing camp songs. If you are shaking in your boots like a first year because you don't know any of the songs anymore, have no fear, just check out the song book and study up! We look forward to seeing everyone in the circle.

*The committee understands this is not a shared tradition at some of the newest GSLAC camps, but hopes all feel welcome in this tradition.
