Cooking with 1st Rotherham (Kimberworth) Cubs Scouts Group…

At the start of May, we delivered the first of three Healthy Eating and Cooking sessions with the 1st Rotherham Cubs and Scouts Groups in Kimberworth. Both groups had lots of energy to burn off – so we started off by joining in with a couple of games with their leaders before we spent some time thinking about our favourite meals.

The Young People were encouraged to draw or act out their favourite meals, before trying to identify changes they could make to make them healthier. We had a couple of young people whose family has Greek roots, so they drew and shared about their favourite Greek meals. Spaghetti Bolognaise and Fish and Chips were firm favourites – with debates around whether fish and chips goes best with Mushy Peas or Baked Beans…

We will be returning to the group in early June, using recipe books to discover new recipes and meals which they may never have tried before. Our final session in early July will be spent cooking and eating together.

Did you know that we can come and deliver similar sessions in other settings across Rotherham? If you’d like us to come into a Uniformed Organisation, Youth Group or School Setting, please do contact Jonathan Buckley on jonathan.buckley@ymcawhiterose.org.uk
