Followed the lead of the Wolves and Tigers last year, the Bear den spent part of a recent meeting building "campfires" out of snacks. Potato sticks served as kindling, while pretzels were sticks and log as marshmallows ringed their fire pits like stones. Red licorice took the place of actual flames, of course, and cheerios were finally added to the mix to represent the charcoal left behind. Ever mindful of safety, each Scout also had water handy to extinguish the fire if needed (or he got thirsty).
