Ready, Steady, Cook!

We began the night rushing around Tescos with exactly £7 for two groups! Our menu needed to have a main course and a dessert which would make a perfect meal for the leaders to judge. When we got back to the hut we didn't waste any time and got to work quickly on our gourmet meals. The two groups made mac n cheese, apple strudel, bangers n mash and a chocolate croissants.

Skiing at Chill Factor

SNOW! We strapped on our skiing boots and grabbed our skis and hit the slopes. We were taught the basics of skiing; how to snow plough, how to backwards ski and also jump! Now we're all pro skiers!

Disease

Infection! Malaria, Measles and TB. To work towards our Platinum Scout Award, we had to make a 5 minute presentation about a given disease. In groups, all of us researched and created a news like presentation which we performed to the other explorers. We learnt and shared shocking infomation, and and in the time we did our news shows, we worked out that 69 people would have died from these 3 diseases.

Golf

Balls everywhere. This week we went to the American Golf center where we shot golf balls into the distance. However, most of us weren't very good, but we tried our best.
