Bushcraft & Cooking Activities
Bushcraft (man living WITH nature)
1 Day Activity (2 Activity Points)
This is absolutely at the core of worldwide scouting. Our Bushcraft Zone is set up in an area where you will learn, practice and refresh your bushcraft skills. You can try out new skills like paracord making, woggle making, new cooking ideas, enter our water boiling challenge, tinder making, rope making and lots more. Can you really build a fire? Have you ever tried a hammock? Come and give it a go. No animal preparation.
NO GUTS – ALL GLORY!!
Master Chef
1/2 Day Activity (1 Activity Point)
Like eating? Enjoy a challenge? Here is one where you get the best of both worlds. Working in 4 teams of around 6, each group will get a bag of mixed ingredients. The challenge is to use these in combination, along with a well stocked larder, to produce a two-course meal that is both tasty and imaginative (although edible would be a good start)! One of the staff will taste all of the meals and decide the winning team, then you get to eat the food you have prepared. The time is limited, the ingredients are limited, the cooking facilities are limited, the only thing without limits is your imagination! Get your aprons on!!

Bored of the same old dishes at camp? Fed up of the pasta and sauce rut that never changes. Well, in this section of the Bushcraft activity you will take on new recipes and develop unique skills that can be used when you fancy a change in your in-camp diet. Cooking utensils optional!
