Compo camp Aug 2010




This year was the first time that the Provincial Camping Competition was held and both of our patrols attended. There were a total of 17 patrols in the competition form Randburg, West Rand and Southerns districts. The camp was run at Saddle Creek and run according to West Rand competition rules.

The patrols did very well. Bats came 7th over all and Crocodiles came 9th overall which is great for a first compo camp. Bats were also 3rd overall in cooking.

Well done to all the girls that attended!!

6 August: Cooking competition


So this week we did a cooking competition where the patrols were given ingredients and told to cook them. The difference was that the meal was to be cooked on a fire and not gas (as a result a few other things needed to be considered). The PLs were given the main course to cook and the Seconds the dessert. As we like to challenge our girls the PLs were given: Baby potatoes, a sweet potato, unfavoured soya mince, carrots, whole tomatoes, spinach and half a loaf of bread. The patrols did very well and made a bunny chow and a mince sandwich which both tasted very good.
The Seconds were given: Tennis biscuits, custard, bananas, apples, half a Madeira cake and cream. They had the additional requirement that they had to cook something in that it could not all be cold. Both patrols made a trifle of some kind but once again - they tasted great.

Great food and fun was had by all! Well done girls - you've proved once again that you can handle anything we throw at you.
