A separate email went out to everyone about the Sock Drive schedule. We are counting on everyone to make the Sock Drive a success.

– Camp Cooking Challenge

Our cooking meeting was a great demonstration of some of the Scouts’ cooking abilities.
Here’s the menu:
Matthew – one pot lasagna
Jack – tomato soup from scratch
Avery – omelettes
Joe – no-bake cheesecake
Brian – tacos
Jimmy and Nathaniel – jambalaya
Being able to cook in the outdoors is a valuable skill and these guys are getting good at it!
