Connor and Toby with their hole dug and placing their lighting layer
Their group went out to Rimu Park - 8 minutes west of their scout hall - and had a group cookout. They were in 4 groups, and each dug a rectangular hole in order to build their fire to cook their dinner.

They lit their fire and let it burn down to some pretty impressive embers and then placed their main course meals in and let them cook.
Once these were ready they placed their dessert in the embers while they ate their main.
Thomas , Toby and Connor making their orange/chocolate cakes
To make these cakes, they cut a small section off the top of the orange, hollowed the orange out, filled the cavity with chocolate cake mixture, replaced the lid and covered with aluminium foil. The heat cooked the cake!
Similarly they slit the banana in its skin, placed chocolate buttons in the slit, covered in foil and cooked.
Main course was Tortilla wraps and Calzones. To make the Calzone they kneaded out scone dough to a flat round and placed a mix of cheese, ham, pineapple, mushroom, onion, capsicum and tomato paste onto half of the round, then folded it in half, pressed the edges together and wrapped in foil.

A great way to end their scouting career - cooking out in the open on a fire - their favourite.
