If you need an inspirational short story or a funny child short story, you can find a few in this list. These campfire stories range from the scary ghost to the inspirational hero along with funny characters and mishaps in between. Tell one or two of these at your next campfire and the scouts will be asking you to tell a funny story at every outing after that. Remember that the story is in the telling so rehearse quite a few times and really know it before telling it to an audience.
