ASSEMBLING A CARDBOARD BOX OVEN
Duraon: 15 mins
Category Expedions, Campcra and Scoutcra
Descripon
Assemble your cardboard box oven ready to make some delicious
food!
Method
Each Patrol assembles their Card Box oven as per the diagram below.
There are a number of designs around to choose. They all work
very well and anything that can be cooked in a convenonal oven
can be cooked in this style of oven.
Make sure there is a good supple of hot heat beads ready to use
and hot replacement beads ready during the cooking acvity. Discuss
safety issues when working around fires and ovens.
The above version of the Cardboard Box Oven is from the CD, WASP
Reloaded 2005, available from the Scout Supply Centre.
This oven can be used more than once if it is looked aer. So plan
another cooking night with the oven next month or take it on the
next camp. Maybe the Troop or a Patrol could impress the Group
Commiee by cooking the supper in Cardboard Box Ovens at the
Group AGM.
FOLLOW WITH THE ACTIVITY "Cooking In Cardboard Box Oven."
Method
Explanaon:
As buildings take over more and more bush and tree areas, birds
have less area for gathering food and nesng materials. In the winter
Joey Scouts can set up “supermarkets” with items birds might be
able to use for nest building. They may also like to set up bird
“cafeteria” trays with food scraps, seeds, bread, fat trimmings from
meats and water.
Method:
Make a frame for mesh by placing twigs at edges and securing corners
with rubber bands. Cut the mesh onion bags down a side and
across base to open out flat. Using yarn threaded through a bobby
pin wind around the sck and through mesh and each side. Make a
hanging loop by tying yarn to the top corners of the frame (with
round turn and two half hitches if your Joey Scout knows how). Find
items e.g. wood shavings, hair, fur, dried leaves, string pieces, grasses,
fluff from cleaner etc. and weave into mesh. Hang outside.
Equipment
Mesh onion bags, straight twigs, ball of yarn in short lengths, bobby
pins, four rubber bands for each.
Equipment
One oven per patrol: cardboard boxes, aluminium foil, wire coat
hangers, pliers, aluminium foil dishes, matches, BBQ heat beads.
