• Fire
  

  'Fire is a good servant but a bad master'

  Again in our Movement we teaches how to light and put off fire, not that we want all our members to be firefighters, but we want them to learn how to utilize it for their greater benefit. We also want all our members to be prepared like our motto to tackle any situation that may arise through an outburst of fire.

  So here we go!!!! Try only under adult supervision.

  Be sure you practice it whenever you get time and put it into practical used to ensure the success of your knowledge.

  Tip: A good knot is one that is easy to tie and also easy to untie and will not come out unless it is untied.
