Recipes for Breakfast, Lunch, Dinner, and Dessert

There's nothing like a hot, healthy meal of good, wholesome food like chicken or chili after an exhausting day of scouting! Kids and leaders can get some great food recipes here for breakfast, lunch, or dinner as well as desserts and trail snacks. There's also a selection of dutch oven recipes. Start the day right with a high-energy breakfast, take a break at mid-day with a nourishing lunch, and don't forget to make time for a fun dessert around the campfire after dinner. Cooking is a big part of scouting and scouts learn a lot about becoming self-sufficient, clean, patient, and forgiving when it comes to meals cooked in less-than-ideal conditions.
