“Putting the Outing Back in Scouting” Cookbook by Marti Bennett About the author. Marti Bennett, a resident of Wallaceville, Pennsylvania, has been involved in Girl Scouting since her Brownie days. As an adult, she has been active in a variety of outdoor capacities. From resident camp and day camp staff to outdoor specialty trainer, she has spent much of her free time “Putting the Outing Back into Scouting.” A health and physical education teacher in a junior/senior high school, Marti is a graduate of Slippery Rock State College. In 1989 she took a sabbatical for “educational travel” and completed 830 miles of the Appalachian Trail. Since that time, much of her free months of June have been spent backpacking the AT in sections. At the present time she has completed 1700 miles, with only New Hampshire and Maine left to trek. After witnessing the environmental destruction in several high altitude areas of the AT, she decided to return to Slippery Rock in pursuit of a Master’s Degree in Environmental Education. With the degree nearly completed, Marti has decided to focus on “Putting the Outing Back into Scouting” as the theme for her thesis project of integrating environmental education into outdoor recreational activities in Keystone Tall tree Girl Scout Council. The environmental aspect concentrates on water quality monitoring and the effects of acid deposition, along with the need for resource protection. The main purpose of this cookbook is to give leaders and persons working with today’s youth the knowledge and inspiration to try something new when it comes to outdoor cooking. Dedication: This cookbook is dedicated in part to my many Girl Scout leaders including my Brownie leader-mother Betty Bennett, Senior leader Doris Marrazzo, and Camp Director/Administrator Joyce Lawrence, who taught and gave me the opportunity to love, appreciate, and feel comfortable in the outdoors. Many thanks also to the campers in my twenty-five summers of “working” at camp who created and prepared many of these meals, although I didn’t include the recipe for my most memorable camp meal. The “surprise breakfast-in-bed” menu of chocolate chip pancakes remains imbedded in my mind (and molars) as the all-time outdoor cooking fiasco—even more that the several 11 PM suppers. I was truly proud of the fact the girls knew enough to douse a grease fire with dirt, but I wasn’t overly happy they forgot to scrape the sand and dirt off the griddle before cooking the next batch of pancakes, which happened to be the ones they served me! To my many friends at Camp Addisone Boyce and Rockland/Keystone Tall Tree GSC: thanks for the inspiration, opportunities, recipes and encouragement! A special thanks to CSS, G & AW, GB, and PM, for making this all possible.
