With as many people as there are at camp you cannot have a campfire in the traditional way we do campfires. The Scouts participation was limited to their sub-camp cheer, and singing along with the songs led by the campfire chief and sub-camp uncles & aunties.
Also, the public was invited to attend and a few hundred did. Most likely family and friends of the Scouts that had also been at the Country Fair. But at a few points they were also expected to participated and did.
The fire didn't work out all that well and had to be stoked a few times with parafin to keep it burning. A lot of smoke and not much flames. Wet wood and other construction issues. They should have left it up to Trevor to make a huge raging fire.
The campfire was actually not that long. Maybe a little over an hour. Then the Scouts had a half hour to blow off a little steam before lights out.
