Summer camp

Summer camp is under Canvas and attended by scouts and some of the older cub scouts. Scouts sleep in traditional patrol tents which they put up themselves on arrival and take down when we break camp. The location of camp each year varies and the format and focus varies according tot he location and facilities. The camp is more chilled than the winter camp due to the longer duration and there is time left for the scouts to hangout, meet other groups, practice their outdoor skills and relax. Each day is organised around a common pattern and the scouts cook on the camp fire several times during the week.

The scouts typically during the week get to prepare food themselves in the evening either on the fire, in the fire or in a special oven that sits on top of the camp fire or gas cooker. The scouts chop and prepare all of the food together in teams, many for the first time.

• Baked potatoes
• Vegetable stew
• Pizza - they make the dough as well
  
• Baked bananas with chocolate
  
• Steamed sponge pudding
