Come on Dwayne.  Lets have some fun.  Lighting a council fire in a neat
and different way is exciting and it sets the tone for a great council
fire.  Look in the Outpost Activities Book. It is full of ideas to light
the fire.

I can remember one evening we were setup Pow Wow Style just before Pow
Wow for the Church to see.  It was about 10 in the night and a few of us
die hard Rangers decieded we would camp there just in town to keep our
Ranger Stuff from getting removed by non-rangers!!!  We sat around and
developed Council fire techniques.  A little black powder, some gas, some
igniters and a BIG SAFETY marshall  "me" and we had a blast to say the
least.  One of the young men will be a GMAer this year.  Were Ready.  Be
safe.

Let them have some fun...and yes sometimes a flint and steel light is
just as effective.  Besides were Ready for anything right!!! GRIN!
