The boys will certainly expect to have at least one good campfire or singsong
during the Course, and no better reason is needed to include one in the
syllabus.
Where circumstances permit, there would be no harm in allowing the boys on
the Course to invite members of their own Patrols to attend and take part in the
singing, but it is important that the Course Patrols should preserve their
integrity, so that the visiting Scouts see their Patrol Leaders in a different setting.
The moral effect of this, if the Course is a good one, will probably be all to
the good.
Within reason, the boys should be allowed to sing the songs they ask for, but
the program should include one or two rounds and towards the closure the
noisier items should be avoided. If the atmosphere is right, a very brief yarn
on (for instance) " The Boys of , Brownsea Island " might be included,
and the evening should finish with announcements about early morning services on
the following day, and prayers.
