The scouts had an evening as rocket engineers on Friday, with patrols building and then firing water-powered rockets.
Each patrol built three rockets and then competed on accuracy (the target was a paddling pool) and distance. In the event the competitions were forgotten in the rush to fire their rockets.

The group held its first quiz night on Saturday with twelve teams competing for glory. In the end four teams finished within a few points of the lead, with “the Minecrafters” narrowly taking the victory. The winning score was an impressive 49.5 out of 65.
Update 1 (2013-07-01):
Some of the scouts made cakes for the quiz – Matthew’s “Scout cakes” were particularly impressive.
