Video: Duchess of Cambridge braves cold at Cumbrian Scout camp The Duchess of Cambridge stayed true to the Scout motto of "Be Prepared" as she mucked in around the campfire at an activity centre for youngsters near Lake Windermere. She wore a fleece, green parka-style jacket, matching woollen hat, dark blue jeans and wellies to guard against the biting cold, and accessorised with a Scout's red, white and blue neckerchief, tied in a friendship knot. The Duchess, who is five months pregnant, spent about an hour outside with adult volunteers and youngsters at the Great Tower activity centre near Newby Bridge. The temperature was estimated to have plummeted to minus five with the wind chill factor, but the Duchess, who occasionally helps out at a Scout group near her home in North Wales, helped mix flour, water and sugar to make campfire treats known as "dampers" or "twists."
