Some openings and closing you can use:-

From the north, from the south

from the east, from the west

May good scouting come to you always

Brother scouts this campfire is open

FROM: Paul Harris. ACC Ventures Derbyshire, 1995

Sweet is the brother hood to which we belong

but doubly sweet is the brotherhood of song

FROM: Paul Harris. ACC Ventures Derbyshire, 1995

My Favorite Close

You sing the Lord is my sheppard through Twice and then hum through twice, whilst himmig the leader reads Scout Vespers over.

The Lord is my Sheppard

The lord is my sheppard, i'll follow him always,

Beside the still water, i'll fowllow him always

Always, always, I'll follow him always

Always, alwats, i'll follow him always.

FROM: Sue Mallander, Derbyshire, 1995

Softly falls the night of day

As our camp fire fades away,

Silently each scout should ask have I done my daily task

Have I kept my honour bright?

Can I guiltless sleep tonight have I done and have I dared,

Every thing to be prepared.

(Also can be used as a prayer)
