Awesome work scouts well done

Our Scouts smashed it last week with some epic pioneering skills — and even built their own launchers. Teamwork, creativity, and a whole lot of laughter. Proud of this brilliant bunch

What an amazing night we had last night at cubs. We had the pleasure of welcome Craig from Hammonds Butchers who ran an incredible night where our cubs made their own sausages. A winning sausage will now be picked and sold at hammonds in the not so distant future.

Then we where also joined by county lead volunteer and one of his assistants who awarded special awards to two one of our leaders, one of our young leaders and a special cub guest following an amazing achievement

How cool is this for our cubs tomorrow!

Tomorrow, (Tuesday 16th June) Hammond's Butchers will be giving the Brenchley & Matfield Cubs ⚜️ a crash-course in sausage making, teaching them the tricks and tips of the trade. Also, we will be presenting them with a challenge... to create a BRAND NEW SAUSAGE! 🌭

Hammonds Butchers and The Poet at Matfield 👨‍🍳 will be arming them with a range of ingredients to use in their sausage meat. The Cubs will be split into groups and work together to create their own recipes. They will then have a go at filling the sausage skins themselves, right in their own Scout Hut! ⛺️

Then there's the small matter of choosing a name for their creation. Will we have 'Baden's Banger' after Robert Baden-Powell ⚜️ the founder of Scouts? Or maybe a spicy sausage creation will be aptly named 'In-Tents Chilli'⛺️🌶!?

At the end of the night, each Cub will be able to take a pack of their own sausages home to enjoy with their families. 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

BUT, the challenge doesn't stop there!
A sample of each group's new recipe will then be taken to the wonderful Chefs👨‍🍳 at the 🪶Poet at Matfield to be tasted, tested and judged where they will decide which new sausage is their favourite!

🏆The winning sausage will then be announced at the following week's Cub night, where the winning group will recieve their 'Sausage Certificate'🎗!

BUT, it doesn't stop there either! The winning recipe will then be taken into Hammond's HQ where the Hammond's Butchers team will re-create the sausage and package them for sale. They will then be available to by from Hammond's Butchers and each pack sold will raise money for repairs and refurbishments needed for the Brenchley and Matfield Scout Hut! 💷💷

⚜️Brenchley and Matfield Cubs, 🥩Hammond's Butchers and 🪶The Poet at Matfield are all very excited about this and can't wait to share the new sausage with you! Keep an eye on our social media for updates!

Scouts have you used your popcorn roasters yet? Nick our GLV and his family gave it ago tonight. You have to be patient but it’s so nice!!

Great evening at scouts tonight, learning how to make popcorn roasters and mushroom logs. What extra skills they have learnt and the will get to use the popcorn roasters on camp later this term.

Cubs did the hike tonight. A nice 3.5k walk through the fields and countryside. We do live in a beautiful part of the country.

Scouting isn’t just one day a week. This afternoon Nick our GLV (group lead volunteer) and his son (one of our scouts ) have been walking a practice route for our cub hike on Tuesday night. We have some beautiful views around Benchley and matfield. The practice walk is ideal to make sure we know the route but can risk assess for any issues to keep our young people safe.
