The History:

Taking ashes from one campfire to another is a tradition of Scouts and Guides all around the world to celebrate world sisterhood.  Ashes taken from a campfire are sprinkled into the flames of the next campfire.  The next morning, when the ashes are cold, each Scout/Guide takes some to mix with the next campfire keeping a list of all of the campfires in which they have sprinkled their ashes.  If more than one Scout/Guide brings ashes to the campfire, the lists are combined, the dates and places of all campfires are recorded and passed on.

The Ceremony:

“We carry our friendships with us in these ashes from other campfires with girls in other lands.  May the joining of the past fires with the leaping flames of this campfire, symbolize once more the unbroken chain that binds scouts and guides of all nations together.

With greetings from our sisters around the world, I will add these ashes and the sisterhood therein, to our campfire.  Will anyone with campfire ashes please come forward and join me.

(Wait for others)

The ashes I spread into this campfire carry memories of past campfires dating back to <year>

I will now charge these ashes to the campfire.  (sprinkle ashes)

So that you may pass these ashes on and share them with others at your next campfire, you will be given a history of where these ashes have been.

Instructions:

Separate the tags on the micro perf. Write your SWAP information on the back. Poke a pin through the tag and slide on a vial. Store your friendship ashes in the vial.
