At our Council Fires we give a bead as a symbol of appreciation for each other.
2011 will be the summer of Air. There will be no spoilers on what the bead will look like, but there are two things the element of Air can help us keep in focus:
* – To fly, to soar – you have to have a dream to reach for, an ambitious and even audacious goal that inspires you
* – lighten up. Think cool and breezy. You don’t often reach your goals weighed down by self-appointed burdensome thoughts. Summer camp happens during summertime. We can all lighten up!
Previous Beads include:
In 2010 a red bead with dark and light streaks symbolized Fire.
In 2009 the bead was a ceramic circle that symbolized Water. (We had 14″ of rain that summer. ..Jinxed!)
In 2008 the TL bead was brown wood and symbolized the element of Earth.
