Have you ever been a fishing
Turkey in the Straw
Have you ever been a-fishing on a bright and sunny day
With all the little fishies swimming in and out the bay
With their hands in their pockets
And their pockets in their pants
All the little fishies do the fishy-wishy dance
Singing la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la-la,
With their hands in their pockets
And their pockets in their pants
All the little fishies do the fishy-wishy dance.

Purpose/Topic: Maritime environment
AoPG: Physical, Social
Set the Joey Scouts to peel the eggs. Place the egg in the bowl. Mash with the fork. Add 1/4–1/2 teaspoon of curry powder, and 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise. Mash further, until the curry powder and mayonnaise are properly mixed through.
Eat.

Equipment: alfoil; tortilla; cheese/ham/onion/tomato/other savoury fillings; chocolate chips/banana/marshmallow/honey; oven; plate
Purpose/Topic: Nautical history and traditions
AoPG: Physical, Social
Pre-chop/grate all fillings. Tear large squares of alfoil (each one should be a little larger than the tortilla).
Joey Scouts collect a piece of alfoil and a tortilla. They scatter a selection of sweet or savoury ingredients over the tortilla. They fold the tortilla in half with the alfoil around it, and seal it by scrunching the alfoil.
When sealed, place the parcels in the oven to cook. (If you are cooking a large number, you may wish to write the Joey Scouts’ names on the alfoil in sharpie.)
After they have cooked for a short time, remove the parcels from the oven, and place on plates. The Joey Scouts can unwrap their parcel, and eat their Ration Pack.
