Joan Gussow Nothing would be more tiresome than eating and drinking if God had not made them a pleasure as well as a necessity. Voltaire Do vegetarians eat animal crackers? Author Unknown Introduction This book has been and continues to be written by and for the Boy Scouts and Adult Scout Leaders of Troop 318, Orland Park, IL. It will be updated as needed with additional recipes and adjustments to the current recipes. We encourage all cooks to expand their skills and try new flavors and cooking techniques. Please send in any recipes that you have tried and liked, or any recipes that you come across and think would be a good addition to our cookbook. Cook, experiment, learn, share Meal Planning Camp cooking will be much less of a chore if you have planned well, planned thoroughly, and if you come prepared. Start planning the campout meals as soon as you know how many Scouts or Adult Leaders will be on the campout. In fact, you can start preparing even before that, by looking through this book, as well as other resources for ideas for new meal plans. Keep in mind the following items when planning a meal: • Nutrition: Plan healthful, well balanced meals – yes this means include vegetables! • Servings: Be sure that there will be enough food for everyone to get their fair share • Allergies: Be aware of any allergies that anyone in your group has, and plan accordingly • Variety: Change things up! Don’t keep making the same meals on every campout • Equipment: Will the all the equipment that you need for cooking be available for you? (Dutch ovens, grill, campfire, stove space, pots & pans, utensils, etc.) Will you need to bring any gear? • Storage: Will you be able to bring all the food you need? How will you store it safely until you need it? • Preparation: What can (and maybe even has to be) prepared in advance of the campout? When are you going to prepare it? Be sure you have scheduled the time to take care of preparations. • Shopping: Where will you purchase the food? Who will help? When will you make the purchases? Where will you store the food before the campout? • Budget: How much can you spend per Scout/Adult? What is the total you can spend? How will you stay under or within budget? Plan carefully. A Scout is Thrifty. • Duty Roster: Be sure to complete a duty roster for every campout, include everyone, and stick to it. • Menu Approval: All campout menus must be approved by the Scoutmaster or the Camping Coordinator before the campout. Caring for Your Patrol Box and Cooking Gear Each patrol has its own patrol box with a propane stove and cooking gear. It is the responsibility of the patrol to: • Keep the patrol box supplied o This means that you have all of the pots & pans, cooking utensils (spatula, spoons, etc.) hot pads, lighters, bowls and any other gear that your patrol needs to prepare meals on campouts o You also need to replenish consumables such as cooking oil, sugar, salt & pepper, seasonings, dish soap, etc. o Always have clean towels to dry dishes before putting the patrol box away. o The troop will supply the propane and the stove • Keep the patrol box and all of the gear CLEAN! o The cooking utensils, pots and pans, etc. must always be thoroughly cleaned and dried before being stowed away in the patrol box. o As soon as you have a burner available, start heating water for cleaning dishes o You must use the 3 pan method for cleaning dishes, pots & pans and utensils: Pan 1 has hot, soapy water Pan 2 has hot, clean water for rinsing Pan 3 has water with just a few drops of bleach for sanitizing o DO NOT SKIP THIS STEP! Be sure to DRY the dishes as well NEVER put wet dishes away in the patrol box. o CLEAN THE STOVE! The stove must be cleaned thoroughly, all food and spills removed o Clean the patrol box so there is no food on it (check for spilled liquids, sugar, etc.) Wipe down the entire patrol box with clean soapy water or with a sanitary wipe. Rinse and dry as well. o The dirty dishtowels must be brought home, washed, and brought back for the next campout • Propane Stove o Keep your stove clean o If you smell an odd odor (propane) - tell an adult IMMEDIATELY. o If you are having trouble lighting the stove, STOP. There may be a build-up of propane that can ignite. Let an adult leader know that you are having trouble lighting your stove. o An adult leader will connect your stove to the propane tank. Dutch Ovens are maintained by the troop and are available to the patrols. Check with the quartermaster and Scoutmaster to reserve what you need in advance of a campout to be sure that it is available (and not already being used by another patrol). The grill can be used by any patrol, but should be reserved in advance. If you are planning to cook a meal at the fire, check with the Scoutmaster in advance of the campout. Camp Cooking Tips • Start food preparation in advance (at home) to make things go more smoothly at the campout. Pre-chop ingredients such as onion, peppers etc at home. Pack in zip-lock bags. Pre-cook select meats and freeze for quick meal preparation. • Pre-measure as much as you can and pack in a zip-loc instead of the box it came in (pancake mix for example) • Block ice will last longer than cubed ice in your cooler – freeze your own (use a milk jug and you will have drinking water after it melts). • All items in a cooler should be packed in water tight bags • Pre-heat pans/griddles before you start cooking on them (but do not OVERHEAT). Spread oil evenly in pan. • Heat a pot of hot water on the stove as soon as you are done cooking and you will be ready for clean up when everyone is finished eating. • Pita bread packs better and stays in better shape when camping than regular bread • Bring energy boosting snacks such as GORP trail mix, granola bars, dried fruit, beef jerky etc. for in between meals. These are good for backpacking. • To cook hamburgers more evenly throughout, put a hole in the middle of your hamburger about the size of your finger, during grilling the hole will disappear but the center will be cooked the same as the edges. • Disposable water bottles make great dispensers for salad dressings, oils and sauces (especially the smaller sizes). • To easily remove burned on food from your skillet or pan, simply add a drop or two of dish soap and enough water to cover bottom of pan and bring to a boil. • Use a leather/suede work glove as an oven mitt. • Put a rope through the paper towel tube. Tie ends together. Loop over slat in picnic table or from a low limb • Frozen food should be packed in small, separate packages. A 5lb bag of frozen hamburger will a long time to thaw! • Have everything that you will need ready before you start cooking (food already cut up, utensils, oil, seasoning, etc.) Food Preparation Proper Handling of Food - Wash your hands - Keep cold foods cold (<40°) - Keep warm foods warn (>140°) - Keep raw meats & eggs away from other foods - ANYTHING that comes in contact with raw meat or eggs must be washed before touching anything else (utensils, cutting boards, hands, etc.) - Store all food in sealed containers - Use a Food Thermometer (see below) - Dispose of food waste properly Use a Food Thermometer If you are cooking meat or poultry on a portable stove or over a fire, you'll need a way to determine when it is done and safe to eat. Color is not a reliable indicator of doneness, and it can be especially tricky to tell the color of a food if you are cooking in a wooded area in the evening.

  • Food Processing and Preservation - Sbt1607
    SCHOOL OF BIO AND CHEMICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT OF BIOTECHNOLOGY B.TECH – BIOTECHNOLOGY UNIT – I - FOOD PROCESSING AND PRESERVATION - SBT1607 HISTORY OF FOOD PROCESSING AND FOOD PRESERVATION FOOD PROCESSING Food processing dates back to the prehistoric age when crude processing including various types of cooking, such as over fire, smoking, steaming, fermenting, sun drying and preserving with salt were in practice. Foods preserved this way were a common part of warriors’ and sailors’ diets. These crude processing techniques remained essentially the same until the advent of the Industrial Revolution. Nicolas Appert developed a vacuum bottling process to supply food to troops in the French army, which eventually led to canning in tins by Peter Durand in 1810. Modern food processing technologies, in the 19th century were also largely developed to serve military needs. In the early 20th century, the space race, change in food habits and the quality conciousness of the consumers in the developed world furthered the development of food processing with advancements such as spray drying, juice concentrates, freeze drying and the introduction of artificial sweetners, colourants, and preservatives. In the late 20th century products including dried instant soups, reconstituted fruit juices, and self cooking meals such as ready-to-eat food rations etc., were developed. Benefits of Processing . Converts raw food and other farm produce into edible, usable and palatable form. Helps to store perishable and semi-perishable agricultural commodities, avoid glut in the market, check post harvest losses and make the produce available during off-season. Generates employment. Development of ready-to-consume products, hence saves time for cooking.

  • Compiled by PJ Borghardt and Erin Debruin Adventure Camping Food
    Compiled by PJ Borghardt and Erin DeBruin Adventure Camping food doesn’t have to be boring or the same old thing every day. Below is a just a small start to a list of ideas and a few recipes to get you going. Remember there are different types of adventure camps and different types of food, fuel and storage requirements. Backpackers need to dehydrate almost everything to conserve space and weight, whereas water activities allow for frozen options (for at least a couple of days). Think about “early in the trip food” and “later in the trip food”.

  • Camp in and Camp out Event Packet #3
    Welcome. Thank you for joining us at Girl Scouts Louisiana East for our third Camp In Camp Out! We are so excited that you are all here to join us in this time, and spend some time in the virtual outdoors. We hope that from this event your passion for the outdoors will bloom. We also want to bring you the fun and tradition of camp to your own home! For this Camp In Camp Out, we will be demonstrating how to use different camp cooking methods to cook three different dishes, an appetizer, an entrée, and a dessert! Choose your own meals and cook with us! We know at Girl Scouts that outdoor experiences are fundamental to the Girl Scout Leadership Experience. Camping is a great way to help girls develop skills, confidence and competence in the outdoors, while also encouraging them to be environmental stewards through programs like Leave No Trace. When girls experience the Outdoors, they learn so many things and become better leaders who have an environmentally conscious attitude and sense. While we are having our virtual Camp In Camp Out, please remember to practice appropriate social distancing measures, and ensure safe virtual meeting places. Please keep in mind wherever you are camping that there may be other restrictions in place such as Stay at Home orders and Burn Bans. Please check with your local authorities to ensure proper compliance with any local orders. We encourage you to share your virtual camp experience on social media with the hashtag #GSLEcampin or tag us @gslecouncil. Whether you pitch a tent in the yard, craft s’mores in the microwave, construct a dreamy blanket fort or sing a song with your troop over video chat, your at-home camping creations will inspire other girls across the world to try it out themselves!

  • Fun in the Outdoors Perfectly Effortless Program
    FUN IN THE OUTDOORS Perfectly Effortless Programs Girl Scouts of Eastern Missouri Emerson Resource Center 2300 Ball Drive St. Louis, MO 63146 314.592.2360 Introduction Girl Scout programs are built on the concept of progression – acquiring the skills needed to progress to more difficult or highly-skilled activities. Learning skills that will be helpful in the outdoors can start during any troop meeting and along with a progressive series of trips, beginning with a day outing, can provide the group with the skills to travel almost anywhere. Try looking at It’s Your Planet-Love It! Journey series or check out The Girl Guide to Girl Scouting legacy badges (naturalist) or the outdoor badges- hiker, camper, trailblazer or adventurer. A Day Outing Is: • Cooking, hiking and playing outdoor games • Learning about nature – birds, the trees and the sky • Discovering the beauty of the outdoors • Becoming comfortable in the natural environment • Practicing skills for a first time before an overnight camping trip • Taking an all-day hike to prepare for a backpack trip • Practicing canoe skills for a canoe camping trip • Learning to fish • Finding your way with a compass or geo-caching with a GPS unit • Introducing girls and adults to Council camp facilities • Exploring forests and parks nearby Before you do anything in the outdoors, make sure you are ready: A day outing offers many opportunities for girls to complete badges. Putting the skills they have learned at in-town meetings into practical use is part of the day outing experience. Is there a badge or patch they could work on that would include these activities? Look in The Girl Guide to Girl Scouting for badge requirements.
