No Boy Scout Ever Starved to Death on a Weekend Campout.” -- Roger Morris, Scouter BSA Troop 295:Camp Cookbook "No Boy Scout ever starved to death on a weekend campout.” -- Roger Morris, Scouter 1 | P a g e BSA Troop 295:Camp Cookbook Forward Like many Woodbadge Ticket items, this project was undertaken in response to a need with my troop. We had fallen into a rut with our menus and cooking techniques. I would make great meals for the adults and have forlorn looks from our scouts working in their patrols having “Taco Bell” yet again. This cookbook is a compilation of work submitted to several Scouting cooking and recipe websites including Geezer, MacScouter, The Philmont Cookbook, The Dutch Oven Cookbook etc. Where credit for individual recipes was available, credit is given. I have corrected numerous typos, combined similar recipes and have reviewed most of the recipes for usefulness. I have tried to group the recipes together in somewhat of a logical order and have added an index to try to make lookups easier. As part of the first section I’ve collected “pearls of wisdom” from numerous sources and then combined them with my own experiences to try to provide some basic background and theory of using the basic scouting cooking tools and techniques including using AL Foil, Dutch & Box ovens and working with open fires. General Commandments on trail cookery: go light, no fuss, no mess 1. Nutritious What! pop-tarts for supper again? 2. Low in weight Less than a 11 yr. old Scout. 3. Taste Great Scouts sure are great cooks..... 4. Cooks fast with no fuss Hurry up, the batteries are going... 5. Meets BSA's handling standards Packed by a 11 yr. old Scout 6. Compact Smaller than a 11 yr. old Scout 7. Cheap No the Money Tree is not in the Forestry Merit. .. Review the National BSA policy on fuels and the local regulations on fires and fuels. Some Airlines have a problem with transporting empty liquid fuel stoves and fuel bottles. Liquid and gas fuels are banned from airlines. Call Ahead and plan to pick up fuel and stoves at your destination. The recipes in this cookbook span from the heaviest cooler camping where the whole weekend is devoted to cooking and eating to quick lightweight backpacking/ high adventure meals. The following explains the term “Geezer” that is associated with many of these recipes: You may be asking yourself, what is a Geezer? Well thoughts of older folks, sitting around a porch and telling stories of yesteryear comes to my mind, so if you have a moment, Ill spin a little tale of the Medicine Man and the Geezer's Cookbook. Dwayne Pritchett (aka by his OA vigil name, the 'Medicine Man'), was a father, a Scoutmaster, a husband and a man who loved spicy foods and Dutch oven cooking among other things in life. This passion led him to compile a collection of his favorite recipes on bits of paper, 3x5 cards, napkins and such. Over his Scouting years, whenever he would go on a camporee, summer camp, conclave or Scouting event he was always on 2 | P a g e BSA Troop 295:Camp Cookbook the prowl for good Dutch oven and great spicy recipes. So in Dwayne's eyes, a 'Geezer' was anyone that shared a penchant for spicy cooking, one who truly loved the hot stuff, whooo-eeee!! Now as Dwayne sought to put the accumulated recipes into a format that others could enjoy, he found an electronic medium to put them into and once he found this, his next quest was sharing these 350+ recipes with his fellow Scouts & Scouters, so that they might enjoy and share his love of spicy cooking. I first met up with Dwayne on the Scout board on Prodigy in 1993. I had been posting some items under the heading “the final word", that were short items, inspirational in tone. Dwayne, enjoyed these and immediately started up his own thread of longer inspirational messages, stories and Scoutmasters minutes under the heading of “the Medicine Man's minute” everyone on the BSA board on Prodigy loved these and he continued to post these as time went on. Dwayne began to offer his compilation of recipes, to the Scouting fraternity, all he asked in return for his effort was a council shoulder patch to keep track of all the different councils he was communicating with. The news spread far and wide and Dwayne was kept busy, posting his 'minutes' and shipping discs with his Geezer Cookbook on them to Scouters around the country. In April of 1995, Dwaynes' family posted a note on the BSA board on Prodigy, that Dwayne had been diagnosed with a tumor on his esophagus and would be off-line for a time, due to chemo-therapy treatments he would be taking, to try and rid him of the cancer. In august of 1995, I was informed that Dwayne had passed away due to the cancer. His death came as a shock to all of us. As I never had a chance to say a proper good-bye to Dwayne and to thank him for his Cyber-friendship, I resolved myself to continue to spread his recipes in the spirit of the medicine man. This on-line compilation, is the result of that resolution. From the Medicine Man to you, in the Spirit of Friendship please enjoy this effort. Here's to you Medicine Man! Mark Michalski, [email protected] These Recipes tend to include Tabasco as a spice agent – feel free to use other ingredients to spice things up - Lee I hope you have fun making and enjoying the hundreds of recipes that follow.

The typical cooking, course teaches the art by means of separate dishes, leaving the student at a loss when it comes to combining them or to preparing whole meals of several dishes at the same time. The beginner, with only a cook book for a guide, often attempts the most difficult and complicated dishes first, with failure and discouragement, loss of time and materials as the result. The cook book gives little help in serving whole- some food combination and a balanced diet. It does not answer the ever-present question, "What shall be provided for today, for tomorrow, for the day after?" In this series of lessons is presented a systematic cor- respondence course in the cooking of meals, with detailed directions, not only for cooking the separate dishes, but also for preparing and serving each meal as a whole.

  • Cooking with T22.Pdf
    COOKING WITH TROOP 22 Foreword I’ve been cooking since I was a young boy in Troop 17 Braintree, MA. As I grew older, I improved and tried new ways to cook. My time as a staff member at Camp Squanto in Carver MA gave me more opportunities to grow my cooking skills. I kept up with making home meals and holiday gatherings. As my son joined Scouts I jumped back into outdoor cooking and shared my knowledge and recipes with the folks in Pack and Troop 22 in Whitman, MA. Today, many of my Scouts are better than I am at outdoor cooking, especially with Dutch Ovens. Here are the recipes we love the most. Many thanks to those who inspired me to be in scouting and keep cooking: My father Bob Warner, Jim Kippenhan, Joe Piche, Arnold Briggs, Al “Woody” Woodman, Rick Anderson, Bob Samya, Steve Mills, Shawn McCollem, Jim Kenn, and all my boys.
