A suggestion for camp gadget is The Weather Rock. [http://www.windycreek.com/weatherrock.html]
Collect the 3 sticks during a hike thru the woods and a small rock. Lashing & knots are used to assemble the pieces. Have the cubs write out on a card their favorite prediction.

We used a collection of old coffee tin and some sort of baling wire to let let each Cub fashion a pot as their camp gadgets.
We used the Cub Book Cooking Pot Gadget instructions, which I think was a great success!
(Bagheera, use gloves or you'll burn yourself!)
We then heated the water to let each one make a cup of soup and then a cup of hot chocolate.
(Mmmmm…. everything tastes better in the woods!)
Remember, Scouters don't cheat… but we sometimes do things to ensure success. In this case we used preheated water in the pots to help bring things to a boil faster on this cold, late winter day!
