For firecrafter rank David needs to have the following done before he gets to camp:
1. Theme for his fire. (approved by 770 leaders)
2. His skits and songs for fire selected and printed out (approved by 770 leaders). Must be at least 25 minutes long. Multiple copies of songs and skits would be best. We can practice before camp to ensure his fire goes smoothly.
(use the attached form )
His theme can be anything, some in the past have been: 4th of july, baseball, sports, scouting ... anything he wants but all his songs and skits need to support the theme. The Firecrafter judges look for David to show leadership, participation in at least 50% skits and songs (but not all) and creativity. Creativity is the second most important so he should try to develop new skits or song parodies (from currrent appropriate songs work great, check youtube for scout song parodies). Have David write at least 1 song parody related to his theme. He should also turn a clean joke into a skit, again following his theme.
Have David email his ideas and I will do what I can to get music if need be. We do have a scout that plays the guitar if David would like to use him, or David can play an istrument, the judges like that if it fits the theme.

So, I need help and don't have much time, so I would like to ask for your guys' help. It needs to be soon. I think my theme will be Technology and Innovations of the past 100 years and (maybe) the predictions for the next 100 years.
