15 Years in Scouting… and I’d Never Heard of This Campfire Tradition!

After 15 years as a Scout Leader, I genuinely thought I’d seen every campfire tradition… until this one stopped me in my tracks.Late one night, while scrolling, I came across a photo of an empty chair placed beside a campfire — and apparently, it’s a tradition “every true Scouter” should know. Except… I’d never even heard of it!!!In this video, I dive into the story behind the mysterious empty chair, explore its connection to Baden‑Powell’s legacy, and ask the big question:👉 Do YOU do this campfire tradition in your group?Whether you’ve known this for years or you’re discovering it for the first time like me, I’d love to hear your experiences. Share your traditions, variations, and campfire customs in the comments — let’s see how widespread this really is across the UK and beyond.
