| BANNOCK COOKING - Judges (Mr Washechek, Mr Bitgood and Eli) were recruited to judge the troop's first bannock cooking contest. | |
 First the Cobra patrol's chocolate covered bannock. |
 Then the Hawk's secret recipe. |
| In the end, both entries were tied in the areas of texture and presentation but the taste test found the Cobras to be the winner. | |
| A very special thank you is extended to Mr. Best and Mr. Kidwell for their great camera work! | |
