    oh yes!! i'm another voter for the "while i was a brownie/guide" crowd. & it still is a staple of the scout/guiding experience according to friends who are leaders now. at a friend's bbq last summer there were about three of us huddled around a collection of those big anti-bug candles that were being burnt, teaching another friend's 10 year old how to toast a marshmallow combined with a lesson in "proper fire safety etiquette". he decided that he liked his mum's friends, we let him play with fire :D

    i can also remember getting our very first microwave at home and the joy of balancing a marshmallow on a digestive biscuit and watching it carefully through the window to catch exactly the right point to stop it before the expanding mallow got big enough to fall of the biscuit!
