On a monthly basis, we'll try to present recipes that are “doable” on Scout campouts. With supervision from adult leaders, the Scouts will gain confidence, have some fun cooking and may even end up with some great tasting meals! Adult leaders: Please exercise proper supervision during Scout food/fire preparation, i.e., safe food storage, hygiene, secure cooking area, heavy-duty gloves, water buckets, waste disposal, etc. We've all heard that bread is the “staff of life.” OK, but that doesn't mean you have to have the everyday, store-bought white bread or buns on a campout. Leaders, why not try the following as a surprise and a different taste for your fellow campers? With some supervision, Scouts will have fun making their own bread. DrumBeat welcomes your comments, suggestions and your own favorite recipe to share.
