Woody's Happy Camper Challenges
Challenge Number 8- "BEAN THERE, DONE THAT "
  • You will need 2 jars ( like honey or peanut paste jars), some paper towel, some bean seeds, sand and gravel, and compost.
  • Place paper towel inside each jar so it forms a hollow cylinder.
  • Fill one cylinder with compost and the other with a sand and gravel mix.
  • Use tweezers to place 6 bean seeds in each jar so that they are evenly distributed between the paper and glass,. They should be about halfway up the jar.
  • Moisten the compost with water until the paper appears wet. Do not flood it.
  • Moisten the other jar with a mixture of salt water and cooking oil.
  • Place both jars in a warm spot and look at them every day for 2 weeks.
  • Do nothing to the sand jar but occasionally moisten the compost.
  • Which jar allowed seeds to grow quickest? And longest?

Just like plants, we need the right food to keep going; especially at a Jamboree. Why waste money on junk food and not eat troop meals that have already been paid for?
