There are differences between a damper and a twist, skills learnt as part of the Tenderfoot badge, as this King Scout explains
Sir, You say that the Duchess of Cambridge helped Scouts to cook “dampers” (report, Mar 23). As a King Scout (awarded during the reign of George VI), I know that what she is holding is a twist.
A damper is made of the same dough mixture but is moulded into a rectangular shape 4 x 2 inches and half an inch thick and cooked on a hot stone. The skills required to make this product in an edible form were part of the Tenderfoot badge, the first in the list of social skills on offer in the Scout movement.
