MacScouter: Cooking for Scouts and Scouters

Become A Sponsor | Why Ads

Patrols and Dens travel on their stomachs. So if you gotta fill it, you might as well fill it well. Thus the Cooking for Scouts and Scouters resource of recipes, cooking hints, and related things. They say that food tastes better outdoors anyway, but if you don't start with good food, I'm not sure that is true. So browse these great resources and find some awesome things to cook outdoors.

Are you looking for camping or backpacking cookbooks? Visit the MacScouter's Bookstore.

Included is the Geezer Cookbook by Dwayne Pritchett, and the long version of The Dutch Oven Cookbook version 2.3, original compilation in 1990 © by Mike Audleman, and added to by John Lyver. Also included here is the compilation of Foil Dinner Recipes by Kim Kowalewski. There is a growing Chili recipes section, with several recipes from the Geezer's Cookbook.
New to the MacScouter's Cooking for Scouts & Scouters pages are the "A Taste of Troop 928 Cookbook" by Dennis Schmitt, and the "Philmont Country Cookbook" by Dennis Schmitt, Joe Corby, James "Jop" Joplin, and Larry E. Warlick. These documents are quite large, about 1 MByte in MS Word, so are also available in PDF.
If you have some good camping recipes, a Troop or Pack cookbook, please send them to me to include here.
