Four Spirits Campfire Opening

Thanks very much to Wendy Baker, who wrote this ceremony and shared it with the Guiding Mailing List!

(Four girls stand just outside the campfire circle with lighted torches or candles. Each walks into the circle and stands in the four compass directions. Each speaks their part and then light the fire together.)

North: I am the spirit of the North where the great game of Guiding began.

South: I am the spirit of the South and I spread the love of Guiding to the world.

East: I am the spirit of the East and I spread the friendship of Guiding to the world.

West: I am the spirit of the West and I spread the worth of Guiding to the world.

All: Together we light the fire of friendship.
