Cooking at an Outing
Form cooking groups
These will be the people that the cooks make food for (distribute scouts and adults equally between the cooks)
Make a meal plan for each meal (and make sure to bring it to the outing!)
Make sure no one in your cooking group is allergic to the food you are cooking
Make sure you follow the food pyramid
Buy your food
Before buying your food, do some research and find where you can get the food you need at the best price
Make sure to buy just the right amount- not too much or little so that you don’t have to waste any
If you have extra food at the campsite, take it back with you (in a cooler if need)
Transporting food and cooking
Try not to bring perishable foods that will spoil before you cook them
Some foods will need refrigeration; bring a cooler filled with ice so that the food stays cold
