Les grandes chaînes, tenues depuis un siècle.
Pendant des générations, les gardiens de la tradition des cendres ont noté chaque feu que leurs cendres ont touché — page après page, décennie après décennie. Voici leurs listes, préservées telles qu'ils les ont tenues : feu par feu, de l'île de Brownsea jusqu'à la Lune, aller et retour.
The 'Bongo' List (Transatlantic Council)
A structured year-by-year record of the Iowa–Holder ash chain as kept by the Transatlantic Council's 'Bongo' Wood Badge line — 153 fires carried from Brownsea Island in 1907 across Europe, the Americas and Asia to 2004.
