Our seniors put their baking skills to the test and made some bread. One of our leaders lent them a coalman’s oven which fits handily over one of our coalman’s cookers. They made some great loaves, which were delicious with butter and syrup!

We would like to congratulate our scouts for a great hike around E1/E2 this evening. We even found a landmark we had never visited before! It is a bridge under a railway line.
This week our seniors undertook their Master Cooks badge. Their menu:
Starter – lamb sausage shakshuka
Main – beef and multi-bean chilli with pasta
Dessert – Camp doughnuts
Congratulations on a fantastic evening of food!
This week our beavers were busy making poppies for Remembrance Sunday, out of the bottoms of plastic bottles of all things! A bit of paint and they look fantastic. They then distributed them around the local area for people to find and take home.
This weekend our seniors planned a survival hike as part of their Bushman’s thong award. It involved a four mile hike and very little in the way of kit! It was a fantastic weekend for all.
This week our beavers were learning how to have a safe and enjoyable bonfire night, including the basics of using sparklers. And toasting marshmallows of course!
This week our seniors starting stacking our new wood store ready for the winter.
This week our scouts cooked up a treat, homemade sausage rolls! However, we don’t have an oven in our scout hut so they had to find an ingenious way to achieve their baking. Who knew you can turn a coalman’s stove into an oven? They were, of course, absolutely delicious!
This week our beavers and cubs were exploring their artistic side by experimenting with Hama beads. These beads you can iron after arranging to permanently connect them into any sort of shape or design.
Second week back and our seniors are already pressing on with this term’s activities! For many years, we have wanted our own wood store so we can keep the firewood for the group nice and dry. Tonight, we have laid the foundations for something great. Check back for more updates as the project progresses!
