Make Tin-Can Ice Cream
Materials:TIN-CAN ICE CREAM
Another great use for a tin can in camp is making ice cream. You only need two cans (with tight-fitting lids) and your hands-or feet!
Ingredients: * 3/4 cup milk
* 1 cup whipping cream
* 1/3 cup sugar
* Nuts, fruit, or flavoring as desired
(Serves two to four Scouts)
Put all ingredients into a one-pound coffee can. Close the can securely and place it inside a No. 10 (three-pound) can.
Pack crushed ice around the smaller can until it fills the larger can. Pour at least 3/4 cup of rock salt evenly over the ice, then close the large can securely. (Duct tape will help.)
Roll the can back and forth on a hard surface for 10 minutes. Scouts can also accomplish this by playing a mild version of kick-the-can, just as long as they don't pop the can's lid off.
Open the cans, being careful not to get salt, ice, or water into the ice cream mix. The mixture will be frozen around the edges. Scrape it off the sides with a table knife and mix it with the portion that is still liquid.
If it's sufficiently frozen, dig in! If not, close up the small can, add more salt and ice, reseal the larger can, and roll it back and forth for another five minutes or so. Test, and try again, until it's ready.

The New Blue is the same Cub Scout program, but it's reorganized and delivered in a different way. It starts this fall. There are volumes of pre-planned programs for den leaders and Cubmasters. It focuses on the 12 values of Cub Scouting -- one for each month -- instead of monthly themes.
