Cooking Troop Program Feature

With the possible exception of "It's time for swimming," no call in camp is as welcome as "Come and get it!" There is something about the outdoors that adds flavor and zest to the simplest meal. Even the lowly hot dog and hamburger taste better in a camp setting.

Strive to broaden the Scouts' culinary horizons by showing them how to prepare varied camp meals without spending a lot of time around the cooking fire.

Troop meeting demonstrations and practice will concentrate on the cooking skills that younger Scouts need to learn - menu planning, use of woods tools to prepare fire fuel, fire lays, and cooking. Older Scouts can work on more advanced cooking skills.
