Scouting Fear Factor - Part 2

The final relay event was a flour paste transfer. Each person had to scoop up some flour water mix and carry it to the cup about 20 yards away. The first team to fill their cup won. Here, Anton managed to keep himself at the end of the line. He has always had a problem with getting his hands dirty. However, not Isabella!

After all the children washed their hands, they were allowed to have juice or water, cookies or chips as the den leaders set up the next stations.

First on the ticket for the wolves was the egg station. Karl explained to the group about a delicacy from the East being hard boiled embryo eggs.



One of the other leaders then cracked open one of those eggs for the children to see.
In my own opinion, it was gross.

Then Karl gave each of his wolves a regular hard boiled egg for them to crack and eat. He told them it might be easier for them if they just kept their eyes closed when they did it.

You might assume Anton was really grossed out, but he was pretending. He saw Karl boil the eggs at home the night before and was told to not let on or it would ruin the effect.
