17 – Rifles and Fitness Part 2
This week at Scouts was the second part of our Rifles and Fitness 2 week plan. Everyone swapped so that the Scouts that participated in rifles last week were now doing fitness and vice versa. Strangely, there seemed to be a lot of Scouts not attending that would have been doing fitness. Peculiar…
Downstairs, the older Scouts got to doing the bleep test in which William was the superior Scout and lasted the longest. Congratulations! However, it should go without saying the Scouts were aiming to beat their score from last time. Our older Scouts also had to come up with their menus they would like to have on camp
Our king of Rifles this week was Joe who on one of his goes, got every shot in the black to the point where we could cover all of the holes on his score sheet with a 2p piece. Well done!
18 – Cafe de Scout
This week at Scouts, we had the rare occasion of observing Valentines Day during a Scout meeting. This only happens every 8 years (give or take) so we set the Scouts a Valentines Challenge: cook and present a meal that would be suitable for our parents to sit down to and enjoy together.
The Scouts were given a meal so cook in their patrols. There were either Quesadillas, Veggie Chilli, Meat Chilli or Pineapple Fritters. There was one catch. We didn’t give them any recipes.
Half of the patrol also had to set and lay a table to make it look as presentable as possible using some stuff they may have bought in. This is also a really useful skill for the Big Breakfast when you are also judged on your presentation.
We will be back this Friday. Hope to see you then,
Ellis
