Sweets in flour : tarp on floor, metal baking tray/s with flour to cover hidden marshmallows, one cocktail stick per Scout, form a queue, one at a time Scouts get 5 goes to spear a marshmallow, eat it if they get one (but still have 5 goes - so could get 5 !!), join end of queue again for another 5 goes.

Mini-doughnuts : tarp under washing line, doughnuts strung evenly along line at about 'mouth level' so Scouts can see them, all Scouts blind-folded, lined up facing doughnuts, hands behind backs, then some of the Leaders move the doughnuts around a bit into small groups along the line, Ready-steady-go, Scouts grapple for doughnuts.

RISK ASSESSMENT : wet/slippery floor : choking via apples or doughnuts : tripping on tarps (esp when blindfolded) : check no allergies to apples, flour, doughnuts, marshmallows etc. NB vegetarians/vegans may not be allowed marshmallows.
