Booklet: Fun Around the Campfire, Boy Scouts of America

Fun Around the Campfire, Boy Scouts of America, New Brunswick, NJ, 1952.
This is a very old booklet, but has lots of relevant ideas for having fun around the campfire.  It is written from the perspective of a campfire program for a scouting event.  I starts with the attitude of the master of ceremonies and the song leader.  It has ideas for songs, ideas for skits, how to make a fire, including a fancy fire-starter.  There is even an idea of what to add to the fire to make different colors of flame.  It has ideas about seating, and where to place the fire or fires, and all that fun stuff.  It says the program should follow the fire, rousing stuff when the fire is flaming hot, but then calming with the fire to more spiritual and meditative items towards the end of the program.
