Not a night goes by that you don’t find a group of Cat Scouts gathered around the campfire. And after the s’mores are gone, the stories begin!
Scout Timmy Tomcat and Scout Gracie took the intiative to make this merit badge a reality, just as they’ve made the campfire get-togethers so pawpular. We salute them!
To earn your Campfire Tails storytelling badge, you must attend the nightly campfire and gather everycat present around you to listen to your tail. Ghost stories are traditional, but that is not an official rule. What IS an official rule is that you must bring and offer a special treat or drink to all the Cat Scouts gathered around you. And another official rule is that if there are Kit Scouts present, your ghost story can’t be so scary that they wet their pants.
You get 20 Karma points for this badge.

This is interesting! I’ve heard such wonderful stories and ones that have made my toenails curl. Sammy’s story has me checking under the bed every night. I also check the blankies before I spread out my furry legs as does mom before she sticks her furry legs under the blanket.
Some really good stories already.
I gotta come up with a story that the Kit Scouts won’t wet their pants! MOL!
Oh this is going to be a really great merit badge! Meow!
Cool! I’ve got a few stories I can tell too! I’ll go join up now……thanks for this way cool Badge idea……..Campfire time is something I always look forward to anyway.
Am I missing where to go to join the campfire story telling group? Not seeing where to join up.
Just go to The Campfire Group under Groups and Troops.
I am wondering if I can count my last story. It was told a week ago and it was a five part story. A real one that happened to my mommie when she was a young girl? It was so scary that several had their tails all puffed up and some even hid under their blankies. Let me know denmaster if this could count or should I gather around the camfire with another scary tail.
Now I know why we had those great stories tonight. Since it is getting pretty late now and we have had two great stories already, I will save mine for another night. If anybody has a suggestion for the treats they would like me to bring, just let me know! Your pal, Mauricio
I posted an eerie story already. It’s a true story. I also have some snacks for everybody.
oohhhhh….I have a REALLY good story for this.. and the best part is that it is true!
