Patrol Cooking: Not Your Typical Summer Camp Meal

[Jay K 15]

We go to our standard Council Camp, but: We bring our own food. The Scouts plan the menu, prepare shopping lists, do the shopping, divide the food into meals for each day, cook, and clean up. We use the same 5-day coolers that we bring canoe camping. (I wouldn't bring the coolers on a backpack trip.) We do go into a town midweek to get ice and food for the end of the week.

We use a combination of cooking on a fire, and our camping stoves. We eat well. The Scouts are proficeint cooks.
