[quote=Anonymous]DD learned in Girl Scouts at age 7 (but technically that wasn't permitted so our leader went rogue). I live in an area where campfires on the beach or in park fire rings are a popular social activity for high school kids. And they're not the magical thing you're imagining, OP. We won't allow DD to go to campfires because drinking is a big part of them and now with phones, they inevitably draw hundreds of kids. Last summer things escalated and the ones that are usually low-key neighborhood ones became staging grounds for gang beefs and other stuff. There was gunfire at two of them. Starting a fire is a great life skill and I'm glad DD can do it. We do let her have friends over to the fire pit if there isn't a burn ban. But big social campfires? Not for us.[/quote]
