The campfire for ages has been the place of council and friendship and story-telling. The mystic glow of the fire quickens the mind, warms the heart, awakens memories of happy, glowing tales that fairly leap to the lips. The Boy Scouts of America has incorporated the "campfire" in its program for council and friendship and story-telling. In one volume, the Boy Scouts Book of Campfire Stories makes available to scoutmasters and other leaders a goodly number of stories worthy of their attention, and when well told likely to arrest and hold the interest of boys in their early teens, when "stirs the blood—to bubble in the veins." At this time, when the boy is growing so rapidly in brain and body, he can have no better teacher than some mighty woodsman. Now should be presented to him stirring stories of the adventurous lives of men who live in and love the out-of-doors. Says Professor George Walter Fiske: "Let him emulate savage woodcraft; the woodsman's keen, practiced vision; his steadiness of nerve; his contempt for pain, hardship and the weather; his power of endurance, his observation and heightened senses; his delight in out-of-door sports and joys and unfettered happiness with untroubled sleep under the stars; his calmness, self-control, emotional steadiness; his utter faithfulness in friendships; his honesty, his personal bravery." The Editor likes to think that quite a few of the stories found in the Boy Scouts Book of Campfire[vi] Stories present companions for the mind of this hardy sort, and hopes, whether boys read or are told these stories, they will prove to be such as exalt and inspire while they thrill and entertain.

Three wild-horse hunters made camp one night beside a little stream in the Sevier Valley, five hundred miles, as a crow flies, from Bostil's Ford. These hunters had a poor outfit, excepting, of course, their horses. They were young men, rangy in build, lean and hard from life in the saddle, bronzed like Indians, still-faced, and keen-eyed. Two of them appeared to be tired out, and lagged at the camp-fire duties. When the meager meal was prepared they sat, cross-legged, before a ragged tarpaulin, eating and drinking in silence. The sky in the west was rosy, slowly darkening. The valley floor billowed away, ridged and cut, growing gray and purple and dark. Walls of stone, pink with the last rays of the setting sun, inclosed the valley, stretching away toward a long, low, black mountain range. The place was wild, beautiful, open, with something nameless that made the desert different from any other country. It was, perhaps, a loneliness of vast stretches of valley and stone, clear to the eye, even after sunset. That black mountain range, which looked close enough to ride to before dark, was a hundred miles distant. The shades of night fell swiftly, and it was dark by the time the hunters finished the meal. Then the camp fire had burned low. One of the three dragged branches of dead cedars and replenished the fire. Quickly it flared up, with the white flame and crackle characteristic of dry cedar. The night wind had risen, moaning through the gnarled, stunted cedars near by, and it blew the fragrant wood smoke into the faces of the two hunters, who seemed too tired to move. "I reckon a pipe would help me make up my mind," said one....

The Boy Scout’s Book of Campfire Stories (1921) is a collection of stories for children by some of twentieth-century America’s most popular authors. Published for the Boy Scouts of America, the book was intended to entertain Boy Scouts and their leaders on camping trips as well as to instill in them a passion for adventure. In “Silverhorns,” written by Henry van Dyke, an experienced hunter named Dudley Hemenway shares stories with a Scotsman while waiting for their train to depart. Over cigars, they talk about moose hunting, and describe their desire to catch the elusive silverhorn. Zane Grey’s “The Wild-Horse Hunter,” a Western tale, begins with three hunters making camp in the wide-open wilderness. As night falls, they start a fire by a stream and recount their difficult day and their struggle to capture the legendary Wildfire. “The Hydrophobic Skunk” is a humorous tale by Irvin S. Cobb about a rare creature said to live at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. Jack London’s “That Spot,” another story of wit and humor, follows a group of prospectors during the Klondike Gold Rush who try and fail to rid themselves of a stray dog that joins their expedition. The Boy Scout’s Book of Campfire Stories is a collection that captures the essence of storytelling—adventure, humor, horror, and wisdom—for children and adults alike. With a beautifully designed cover and professionally typeset manuscript, this edition of The Boy Scout’s Book of Campfire Stories is a classic of American literature reimagined for modern readers.

This thrilling set of Boy Scouts tales are perfect for telling on a starry night amid the crackle and glow of a campfire. A classic first published in the 1920s, this book relays many of the best stories from within the scouting tradition. Vividly written and highly imaginative, the topics in this superb compilation range from the spooky and ghostly to the adventurous and wondrous. Many have a moral aspect which corresponds with the philosophy of the scouts as an organisation. Written with the intention to help young boy scouts during their development of wilderness skills, The Boy Scouts Book of Campfire Stories aren't for the faint of heart. The author Franklin K. Mathiews was the Chief Librarian of the American Boy Scouts, who would emphasise the hard work of physical and mental growth all scouts must aspire to. Although written many years ago, the stories in this compilation are of an excellent quality. Filled with vivid descriptions and exciting narratives, these tales make for perfect reading in the depths of night against the glow of a roaring campfire.

A compilation of eleven original campfire stories for ten- to fifteen-year-olds. Kids will get a thrill out of listening to these stories of ghosts, devils and creatures of the night. Most of the stories are in scouting settings and feature Boy Scouts, but could easily be adapted to an audience of non-scouts for re-telling. The stories: The Ghost of Wildcat Mountain - Farming on the edge of the wilderness comes with special perils. The Shade - Two boys decide to take on whatever is behind the curse that seems to leave each generation of the Hendrickson family with only one heir. Stargazing Under a Full Moon - A story for those who like their hamburger rare. The Curse of the Indian Mound - Strange things happen in the night when a troop camps at a newly developed camp property. The Creature in the Ravine - Legend tells of a creature that lives in the ravine at Camp Indian Trails. The new scout patrol goes on a monster hunt in the snow. The Fog on the Lake - a stranger makes a boy an offer that seems too good to be true when his troop camps at Devil's Lake State Park. The Church Basement - Not every soul in the graveyard is resting in peace. The Demon Troop - Two boys camp with a different scout troop when they can't go with their own group. There turns out to be more to the Demon Patrol of Troop 966 than meets the eye. The Ghost of Eckelberry School - At a scout camp where the buildings are all old one-room schoolhouses, one school stands apart from the others, unused. When two boys see a light in Eckelberry school late at night, they decide to investigate. The Missing Bugler - Native American rituals lead a scout into a new world. How Gordie Came to Castle Rock - A tent has been destroyed, a boy is missing, and the only person who seems to know what's going on is a young Ojibwe who is teaching Indian Lore at the camp. What went on before the current ranger came to Camp Castle Rock?
