Cactus Tasting
Circle Ten Council
In the specialty section of
your grocery store they should have cactus jelly and may have other items made
with cactus. Buy as many different kinds as you can and let your Tigers taste
what cactus tastes like.
Egg Fry
Circle Ten Council
If you live somewhere that gets particularly hot. Take an
egg outside and show your Tigers how that you can fry an egg on asphalt.
(Commissioner Dave – This really works and does amaze the boys but
remember, try it first yourself before doing it with the Den)
