Cooking Patrol Teams Informal

The Grocer

Equipment: One bag and several packages representing each item in your favorite camp menu.

Method: Place packages in a bag. Scouts gather around the leader (cook), who reaches into the bag and picks out packages one at a time, naming each package as it is shown. After all packages have been brought out ofthe cook's bag, patrols go to corners, make a list of the ingredients from memory, and figure out the menu.

Scoring: The first patrol to determine what the meal is receives 25 points. Award 1 point for each package correctly listed from memory.

Variation: Each patrol "cooks" up a new recipe and tries it out on the troop. Most practical and popular recipe earns 25 points for the originators.
