Jam Sandwiches (Scouts)
The Scouts each made a list of instructions for a jam sandwich, which was then redistributed to another Scout to follow. Regularly, removing the lid of the ingredients was left out, resulting in some comical sandwiches. Only two of the plans were successful. These were written by Harry and Ollie. Ollie insisted I mention that he was the Neil Armstrong to Harry's Buzz Aldrin, although this was simply down to the random drawing order.

Out of the mountain of options, they chose, among other things, Rifle Shooting, Bumper Cars, Mini-Tank Driving, Archery, Coconut Climbing, Quad Biking, and, best of all, White Water Rafting.
Scouts Newspaper Bridges
In November 2018, the Explorers joined the Scouts for an evening. One Explorer with each patrol, they all built newspaper bridges to see whose would hold the most weight. Apart from one, which didn't quite make it, they all supported 5 kilograms, at which point Peter, the Young Leader who ran the evening, ran out of weights. Somebody suggested putting Alfie, the smallest scout, on the bridges. Somewhat to their delight, two of the bridges withstood his weight.

On Saturday evening there was also a camp fire with the whole group. Great fun was had by all attendants, including Leaders!
