Scouts showed off their culinary skills. Each patrol had to prepare two dishes of their choice for the leaders to judge – shopping, setting up camping stoves, cooking and cleaning up all in two hours! The food was yummy with freshly made pesto, guacamole and even ice cream! Leaders favourite was the prawn fried rice. Scouts favourite had to be the chocolate fondue which was dived on by everyone.
Last weekend two of our scout patrols took part in the annual ScoutHike camp along with about 1300 other scouts and leaders. They competed against 173 patrols navigating their way independently through the forest between activity bases scoring points along the way.
Photos show our scouts visiting the Captain Blackbeard base run by Bayview Scout Troop. There they became pirates, avoided crocodiles to board ship, raised the Jolly Roger, walked the plank and jumped blind into shark infested water. If they survived that and the sword fight they searched for gold (edible gold) in the spooky graveyard and fired water cannon to celebrate their success.
