I can't take any credit for last nights scout session - but it was good fun.
The scouts were given a selection of ingredients, then split into their troops to make whatever they fancied.
It was fun to see what they created. A few of the scouts really impressed me with how quickly they could make some very tasty food. It was fairly obvious which ones cook at home, they just had a feel for it even though they were cooking over an open flame.
I was particularly impressed with the chips the one group made (they also made pasta with a sauce) and one group made a great spaghetti bolognaise which I would have been happy to have served for tea. Another group dd some great skews with carrot, pepper and meat balls, very herby!
I liked the step back and let them do it approach with scouts, which really isn't possible when I do beavers! Nice being out all evening and cooking outside as well.
I would be impressed with anyone of those meals. Most of my scouting meals consisted of hot dogs cooked on a stick!
