Task 1
In groups Scouts are to pick what provisions they will need for a patrol camp for 2 days from menu template. - You can make your own provision list if you want. The idea is to have flexibility to design different meals and not have specific meals in mind.
Food pyramid is to assist Scouts in considering what people need.
They will need to demonstrate they can link the transporting ideas to storing on camp. This may need prompting from leaders.
NB the idea of the fish being freshly caught is that they need to gut it fairly quickly and should eat it on day 1 as it is a high risk food.
Task 2
Scouts will need to consider cooking and prepping outdoors. Start with an open discussion about what materials they may have available.
Recommended equipment: Open fire, Large pan, frying pan, foil and box of standard utensils
