Congratulations to the two teams who entered the District Cooking Competition on Saturday 6 October.
Team North America cooked a vegetable chowder, shredded salmon in a tomato sauce on a bed of rice, and a lime cheesecake.
They narrowing missed nailing the chowder. Just needed to check the seasoning. Unfortunately the cheesecake didn’t set in time. But the judges praised the flavour.
Team Asia cooked Thai sweet potato soup, Stir fry with tofu and egg noodles, and crepes with exotic fruits.
Each of the dishes were of very good standard.
Team North America came fourth and Team Asia came second. Plus Team Asia were so close to winning best fancy dress as well. Congratulations to 6th Croydon with their Mexican team who won the competition.

Scafell troop entered three canoes into Croydon District (Scouts) Cardboard Canoe competition.
Our designs may not have been as brilliant as some of the other troops. But they are the Scouts designs. Plus we did manage to clash one of our build days with an England World Cup match.
The Scouts had fun designing, building and trying out their canoes. #skillsforlife

Three Scouts from Scafell troop and two Scouts from Snowdon troop entered the District Cooking Competition.
There were some very tasty dishes including Italian Chicken Satay, Spaghetti Bolognaise, Spaghetti alla Carbonara, Eton Mess and Budino Di Cioccolato.
Out of 13 teams, Snowdon were placed sixth and Scafell were seventh. It was very close, just one point separated them.
Well done to all the scouts. We are proud of you.
