Well done to our two teams of Scouts that entered this weekends District ADUTT Competition. Team Alpha (Rhys, Sam, Charlotte, Lewis, Geena and Lauren) and Team Bravo (Tom, Aidan, Jacob, Cameron and George) arrived bright and early Saturday morning (7:00 AM, well done parents for getting them there, we know a few of you were not aware that there was a 7:00 AM at weekends!!) along with 15 other Teams, no Friday night arrivals allowed this year.
The weekend is made up of 3 competitions. Pioneering where they are given a load of poles and rope and are told what to build, think this year was something to do with a flag pole. Cooking where they have to prepare 3 courses 2 of which have to be hot and can only use an open fire no gas cookers allowed. This years extra challenge was to do it all for no more than £3 a head. There is then the overall camping (ADUTT) competition were they are marked for the state of their site, teamwork, putting up a patrol tent, etc.
This years menus were:
Alpha: Cheesy Nachos / Pork Chops in Cider, Apple Sauce (hand made, not out of a jar) & Seasonal Veg / Steamed Fruit Pudding and Custard
Bravo: Bruschetta / Pork Chops in White Wine, Sage and Onion Stuffing (hand made, not out of a packet) & Seasonal Veg / Fruit Crumble and Custard
They both came in a few pound under budget.
In the Pioneering Team Alpha took 3rd place.
In the Cooking Team Alpha took 1st place.
In the ADUTT Team Alpha took 3rd place & Team Bravo took 2nd place.
A huge well done to all of you, even before the results you all had a smile on your face which makes it all worth it. You all need an extra well done, along with Point 5 and Radar for surviving the camp the weekend before in howling wind and torrential rain. The rest of the Troop should all have a smile as well as you all helped put the kit away Thursday night and they could not have done it with out it.
A lot of the Scouts in this years Teams will have moved on by the next ADUTT so Cubs that have come up, get on the camps as they come up and it could be you next time, we have the cooking title to defend, we’ve had it for the last 3 years!
