The beavers enjoyed an introduction to campfire cooking on Wednesday. Alongside the do’s and don’ts, they managed to cook sausages, toast marshmallows, make themselves smores and have an impromptu sing-song.
They started with a paper aeroplane design challenge (sweets as prizes) to a paper aeroplane race (sweets as prizes) – won by Alfie.
The ladder game was followed by – which team can build the highest Polo tower (Kai’s group) (you can guess what the prize was). The evening finished off with an eating-sweets-with-chopsticks challenge (no prize necessary).
Let’s hope they all cleaned their teeth properly before bed! Well done to the Sixers and Seconders

The cubs were given a challenge this week, to build a free-standing structure which could carry the weight of a brick.
The three sixes each had a good attempt – some more successfully than others.
The evening finished up with a game called ‘Tidy Up’ where junior members of each six had to adorn their sixers with as much equipment as possible (without dropping any). This wasn’t just a test of strength for the sixers, but tested their creativity in finding new ways to hold everything!

We cooked out scouts backwoods-style this year. We had to light fires and get them up to cooking temperature before we could eat!
I will post photos of pancakes if we get that far.
