Flour Wars

OriginWinter Camp XXXIV (2010)
The StoryIn the old movie "Follow Me, Boys!" the Scout Troop accidentally gets mixed up in a war game being put on by the army. The Scouts win, but along the way it becomes clear that the Army is using flour to simulate some weapons and particularly for air strikes.

Winter Camp XXXIV's theme was time travel sand campers had to make their way through various eras back to the current timeline. One of those eras was World War I and in honor of the movie, we had Flour Wars. For the event teams were armed with baggies of flour to throw at each other with losers winding up covered in flour.

Unbeknownst to most, the small crew making the flour packets added some aromatic and seldom used spices to some of the packets. No one reported noticing them during the battle.

VeracityCompletely true.
TriggerAny event or meal using flour. Discussion or presentation of the movie.
