DJ,
 
There are several ways to build an indoor council fire. The neatest I've seen is a small fan and light kit that blows colored cloth making it look like flames. Sold in thrift shop as a Halloween item.
 
Or, just find a small fan and some colored paper. With an orange colored light (or Yellow) on a single socket just put some wood around it (not touching).
 
Stick with a devotion. Songs and yells and skits, oh my.
 
Have fun with it and God Bless,
 
Bob Triphahn

Subject: [RR] Lock In Council Fire

Hey all,
We are experiencing The Blessing of the Lord within our Rangers outpost.  Last week we had the most boys we've had since I've been with our outpost.  This week one of last week's first timers brought a friend to make even more than last week (16)!  Which brings me to a question for y'all.
 
Next weekend we are having a lock in.  We are making it an advancement lock in where we will earn the Ropecraft and Basic Sign Language Merits.  The boys are excited and planning on a lot of fun as we haven't had a lock in in about a year.  However, with new boys coming, I want to do an indoor council fire service to make an impact.  Brings me to my question for y'all to ponder.  Having never seen an actual council fire I don't know how to modify one for indoors.  Any suggestions for an indoor council fire?  Do I just give a short devotion or a slightly longer sermonette?  I know the main goal is to point the boys to Jesus, but the best way at a council fire would be how?
 
I only have a week to get this ready, so any help, suggestions, tips or pointers you can give me are gratefully appreciated.
 
In His Service,
 
DJ
