If you wish to bring campfire ashes from previous fires, there will be a time to do so when prompted.

You can pick up ashes Sunday morning from the fire pit at your convenience.

Here is some information about the tradition:
Campfire Ashes
Legend has it that Baden-Powell would always take a small amount of ashes from a ceremonial campfire and then spread these ashes into the next campfire. The main purpose of these ashes is to share with you the memories of past campfires and to bring to all scouts and scouters the international aspect of the World Brotherhood of Scouting.
