Camp food prep


The pack and its leader are altogether at on logs that are like improvised benches armed with the pans and billy cans ready to chop and peel food into in groups ready to go on the big fire to cook their meal.

Fresh food stuffs are generally speaking much healthier so provided you get from on location it makes sense to use them preparing yourself which is also a skill worth teaching through scouting even if it is just how to peel and cut carrots and potatoes.

Field craft: Using a knife


Something I feel passionately you need to be taught is how to use knives safely, knowing which is the best for each task and to be able to perform that action for yourself so you can look after yourself properly.

Apparently some US Girl Scout groups programs do not teach these skills so much as simply show you them in the interests of safety which is really daft because being safe in this context comes from knowing and respecting your tools.
