Camp Cooking Challenge

Date: 14th Apr 2025 Author: Sue Clough

We are running an event for Guides and Rangers (and YLs), to do outdoor camp cooking on a fire.

If you enjoy fire-lighting, cooking, teamwork and getting creative in the kitchen, this event is for you!

You will be given a set of ingredients to use and a recipe card, then you’ll light your fire and cook a two course meal in teams of no more than four people.

There will be some spot prizes for things like best fire, best teamwork, best meal presentation.

Ideally we would like each unit to send one leader with their teams. If for any reason this isn’t possible, please contact the organising team by emailing cooking@cheshireforest.org.uk and we will see if we can help, as we wouldn’t want any girls to have to miss out.

Where: Pettypool Activity Centre

When: Sun 13th July 2025, 11.00am

Cost: £20 per team

For enquiries email: cooking@cheshireforest.org.uk

Girls take what they do in guiding with them as they grow up. Everything from working in a team, to taking the lead, to speaking out on issues they care about. It helps them develop the skills and confidence to become the young women they want to be. ’
