Description

Plan and cook a meal in patrols using a set number of ingredients.

This version is for a simple cooking night, so does not include ALL of the badge options on the other similar programme on OSM, it is intended for use when you don't necessarily go fully into all the menu planning and 'creating a 3 course meal', but have the focus just on a simple fun cooking night.

Resources

Ingredients to suit whatever meals you will prepare - see ideas in attachment

Cooking equipment - see ideas in attachment
Enough adults to supervise, based on the relative skill level of your population.

Regarding ingredients:
a) One approach is to provide each Patrol with the same 'base ingredients', and access to a varied selection of additional ingredients and store-cupboard staples, then let them get creative. See example shopping list attached, for this format.
b) or have them all cook the same thing

Instructions

Several ways of mixing this programme up, either provide them with ingredients for a specific dish, or give them some ingredients to make what they wish (always interesting !!), options for themes etc as well.

Tips:
1) Make the scoring system clear to all participants before they start their planning stage
2) Have the washing up facility ready from the start, helps avoid last minute rush at the end of the night !
3) Focus on leadership skills development - emphasis for Patrol Leaders to lead not do, if they are consistently ‘doing’ when their patrol are not doing anything then points should be deducted.
4) For more ideas, see the Scouts.org.uk writeup.
