Bushcraft: Backwoods Cooking

Outdoor Conference 2026 – Bushcraft Sessions

For the 2026 Outdoor Conference, we’re taking a fresh approach to our Bushcraft sessions.

This year, our sessions will be built around specific, hands-on activities designed to:

• Improve skills
• Spark ideas
• Inspire more adventurous activities with your young people

 

🔥 Backwoods Cooking

From classic Scout favourites like Egg 'n' Potato to traditional techniques like ponassing salmon, this is a masterclass in outdoor cooking. Great for leaders looking to expand their culinary skills in the wild.

🪓 Breakout Sessions

We’re setting aside time for optional, smaller group sessions including (but not limited to):

• Tool sharpening
• Rope making
• Carving
• Pyrolysis

Have a specific skill or topic you’d like to cover? Let us know in advance, and we’ll do our best to fit it in.

We’ll also be having a Nature & Wellbeing Walk on the Sunday morning to revive our spirits & look at Sourcing Materials.

Let us help you build confidence, learn new skills, and bring more adventure to your Scouting programme.
We can’t wait to see you there!
