This Activity is meant for Boy Scouts.
Decide for yourself if it is appropriate for your younger scouts or not.

One rope.
For each team:
- stove or fire
- pan, bowl, spatula, spoon
- dried pancake mix and water

Tie rope between two trees about 9 or 10 feet up.
Have a judge available at the rope for each patrol.

Good competition activity.
The racers take the batter so the next pancake can not be started until they return.
If a pancake is dropped, it still needs to be eaten or a new one cooked.
The pancake needs to be flipped over the rope before being eaten.

Objective: Eat pancakes in shortest time.

Instructions:

• Build a fire.
• Prepare pancake batter.
• Cook a pancake.
• Carry the pancake on the spatula to the rope. Take the bowl of batter and a buddy.
• Flip the pancake over the rope and the buddy catches it in his hand (or not).
• Buddy eats the pancake and gets clearance from a judge.
• Buddies run back to the fire and next pair cook a pancake.
• Repeat a set number of times.
