Cooking

Tonight we gave the Scouts a simple meal to cook. We provided all the ingredients and each of the three teams produced a different recipe. To tie in with the Chinese New Year we gave them Chinese meals to cook.
All the food tasted good and the Scouts managed to clean up quite quickly (for once). They also learn about food hygiene, teamwork and the use of different types of stove.

Navigation

Tonight we set off in three cars and the Scouts had to navigate from a route plan. Two teams managed quite well although my Scouts managed to go the wrong way around the course!
They all found out how difficult it can be to find your way along unfamiliar roads with unfamiliar maps.

Winter Challenge Camp

A first for Waddecar was a winter challenge camp. Five of our Scouts joined in with Scouts from around the county camping under canvas and taking part in a series of challenges.

On Saturday the bases were held at Waddecar and included canoeing, caving, fires, cooking etc. The evening meal was provided and then the day finished with a camp fire.
Sunday involved a "treasure hunt" around Beacon Fell.

We didn't manage to win this time but the Scouts certainly had fun. (isn't that what it's all about?)
