Description

Session planning menu for lightweight hike weekend, choosing recipes to be cooked swiftly on simple gas burners, or in a couple of pans on the fire.
Contributes to Chefs Badge and helps patrols/expedition teams to prepare for Expeditions/DofE.

Can make this a competition between patrols.
Ideally arrange for patrols/teams to buy the ingredients and cook at least one of the meals.

Instructions

Begin with small group discussions about what makes a good lightweight menu.
Show some good lightweight foods, and show the Scouts where to find the recipes in the cookbook provided.
Ask each patrol/team to split into smaller groups and prepare a menu - four meals comprising 1 breakfast, one lunch, two evening meals. Ideally work in pairs, as people hide from the work in larger groups. Each pair takes one meal.
********
Get their proposed menus checked by a leader
********
Then get them to work out quantities they will need for each meal, if they were feeding 4 people.


Optional - get them to price up their meals


Only give badge credit where really due e.g. perhaps not all team members contributed to planning, 'Camper' badge food credit should not be given unless they have cooked the full menu, including one meal on open fire.

Note that there will not be much time for discussing camp hygiene - so this will only be covered at a high level.
