Cooking Night
This week our cubs got to cook on an open fire and help prepare some food for the night.
On the menu was Damper, Stew, Chicken and Corn soup plus milo. There was dessert but we ran out of time to put that together.
The first activity was making the chicken and corn soup. With the help of Vanessa the cubs learnt how this simple Chinese soup is mase, and that egg in it gives that stringy look. They weren't sure on it but they lapped it up when served.
Next the cubs cut up celery to add to the stew. This was more about learning to cut up vegetables and then add to the pot. While this was happening our Gold Boomerang cubs were preparing to cook a meal on the cooking fire.
Stage 3 was making Damper and cooking it as a twist on the cooking fire. As well they wrapped potatoes in foil and threw into fire.
As you woukd expect this stage took ages, and some cubs had trouble dealing with the smoke and getting over the fear of cooking on a fire. In the end no one got burnt - not even our regular injury prone Scout ;0).
Most completed the damper to the level it be eaten before our night ran out. The Golds did a great job on there efforts and all got that section signed off. I am told we have a special parade at the start next week for 4 cubs.
Thanks to my wife for the help this week. It is her night to help and I can't thank her enough.
Thanks to to Rikki, Steve and those that assisted in setting up on the night at 5pm.
Until next week.

Boomerang Age Brackets
One of the key things in Boomerang Awards is it is based on age. The brackets are:
BRONZE: 7.5 to 9
SILVER: 9 to 10
GOLD: 10 to 11
GREY WOLF: completion of GOLD level, but can work towards it while working on GOLD.
Their is a little room to start these no more than 6 months before the age bracket, but they will not get awarded the bafge until they turn the age bracket. Their is a lot in the boomerang work and to ensure enough time to complete Grey Wolf is why we allow the early start point. However, they must have completed the previous boomerang level first.
Also, if they do not complete all 10 sections by birthday, they will not acheive the badge. Again, if they are close to completing, say one or two weeks, we will allow it, but if they come two months later than they lose that badge and must start next one.
The GREY WOLF award can be worn on their shirt in Scouts, until they earn the Pioneering Badge.
