I've been doing the campfire cooking gig since Boy Scouts. It might be a bit late for this trip but check out your local Scout store; it will have a lot of good references. Start with the Cooking and Camping merit badge books, then add specialty group and dutch oven cooking books. Remember - the Scouting programs are designed to teach teen-age boys to plan and prepare group meals in the outdoors. Recipes and techniques are oriented towards their tastes/abilities. Sucess is not guaranteed but it is within reach. |
Thanks - my husband is the Varsity Coach down here for one of the troops and goes camping quite often with his scouts, but the cooking they do wouldn't get my kids eating (or me) but I think I will hit him up to get me some manuals. I'm certain the scout organization has better recipes than what they're doing. My guess is they are leaving it up to the 13 year old boys like you said and WOW
These are all great suggestions, we'll definately be trying some or most of them. We've gotten good at the basics (hotdogs, smores, pancakes, cereal, sandwiches) but I wanted to branch out and try some new things. Cooking is something I enjoy a lot.
