Taste for success

SCOUTS

BIRKMYRE Explorers have a tasty night: Professional chef and Paisley Cub Leader Frank Donnelly led Birkmyre Explorers through the chef badge.

They learned about food preparation and hygiene and then got the chance to make the following meal. Starter: Italian bruschetta Main: Chicken in creamy red pesto sauce with new potatoes

Dessert: Pancakes with mixed berry compote

As much fun was had eating the food as making it!

The other half of the Explorer group were treated to a top class first aid session from former West Region chair Jim Duffy.

Jim is a dedicated Scouting first aider and was able to tell about his incident in the Malaysia rainforest in 2019 for which he won the prestigious medal for meritorious conduct in 2020 for saving another leader’s life on a Scout adventure.

Thanks a lot: This week the 70th Beavers learned about the American holiday of Thanksgiving.

They learned the Thanksgiving story then had a turkey relay race.

The group sat down and ate their meal together before investing their newest Beaver.
