This week our Seniors were surprised with a Ready Steady Cook style challenge where they were presented with a bunch of ingredients and told they have to come up with a main meal. They absolutely aced the challenge and concocted a fantastic pasta dish, maybe we have some new camp cooks?

Scouts: Radiation
Tonight the Scouts learnt all about radiation from one of our leaders, who is a soil & rock scientist by day. They learnt all about the good and bad types and measuring some Uranium Ore with a scintillator. It was great to fully appreciate that while the bad type seems to make the news so often; it is also has important diagnostic use in medical science and cancer treatment.
