Yesterday was our region’s Cookafun. For Guides and Rangers this meant an outdoor cooking competition, for Teddies and Brownies, it just meant fun. the Brownies made buddy burners and then later ice-cream. Teddies made pigs in a blanket and then a chocolate banana pudding.
Four Guides from 1st Waverley attended and I left them to decide their own menu and ring their own ingredients and equipment. they had to set up a kitchen, make a woodpile, make and light a fire, cook a two course mean and then present it to the judges. The girls chose funky chicken wraps with salad and backpackers crepes for pudding. The judges were impressed that they had chosen to cook both courses.
The girls even made a gadget to help turn the pancakes on a hot fire.
The girls had a great time and produced a very tasty meal. Tidy up was also scored, of course.
Our team came 2nd out of 5 and I am very proud of them. Most importantly I think, they had fun, learned new skills and worked well as a team. I am encouraged by the great turnout and the overwhelming support of parents.
After the competition there was a cup-cake decorating demonstration for the Brownies and Guides and a lot of creativity was displayed.
