These are some of our Favorite Recipes

Troop 477 is a very active Troop with many outings behind us and in front of us. One of the most challenging things to do is Feed The Scout! We have collected many camp recipes... some work better than others! Here you will find a collection of recipe ideas to help our Scouts plan their meals.

We have organized the recipes into five categories; Campfire Cooking, Camp Stove Cooking, Dutch Oven Cooking, Backpacking Meals and Snacks.

Please feel free to send us ideas to expand our collection!
