4 Cubs per team plus an adult to help. Cost £3 per Cub.

  • 1 table for both preparation and cooking

  • Plates, knives, forks, spoons

Rules:

  • Each team will consist of up to 4 Cubs and a Leader/Young Leader or adult who are in a supervisory capacity only.
  • Each team will be given the same core ingredients as well as access to shared ingredients such as salt, pepper, herbs and spices.
  • Once they have their core ingredients teams will have 2 minutes to decide what they are going to cook/create as a starter, a main course and a dessert.
