A terrible death to die,
A terrible death to die,
A terrible death to be talked to death,
A terrible death to die.
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream,
Ha-ha, fooled you, it's a submarine.
And when you're up, you're up,
And when you're down, you're down,
And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.
We sold our cow, MOOOOOOOOO!
We sold our cow, MOOOOOOOOO!
We have no use for your bull now!
Have you ever seen a windbag, a windbag, a windbag,
Have you ever seen a windbag, well there's one right now,
Blows this way and that way and this way and that way,
Have you ever seen a windbag, well there's one right now!

Verses:
1852, Lookin' around for something to do
1853, American railroad hired me
1854, Found my back was mighty sore
1855, Found myself more dead than alive
1856, Stepped on a bundle of dynamite sticks
1857, Found myself on the way to heaven
1858, Pickin' the lock on the pearly gates
1859, Floatin' around on a cloud sublime
185-Ten, Started my life all over again
The Moose
(Repeat after me song)
The moo-oo-oose,
Swimming in the water,
Eating his supper,
Where did he go?

He went to sleep.
The Birdie Song
Waaaay up in the sky, the big birdies fly
While down in the nest, the little birds rest
Up comes the sun, the dew goes away
Good morning, good morning, the little birds say.
Out comes the farmer with shotgun in hand,
Boom boom, boom boom, is heard through the land.
Down comes the birdie with only one wing
Stomp stomp, stomp stomp, now no birdies sing.
Ping-Pong Ball
(To the tune of the William Tell Overture)
If I had a head like a ping pong ball,
If I had a head like a ping pong ball,
If I had a head like a ping pong ball,
I would surely float!
Like a ping like a ping like a ping pong ping pong ping
pong ping pong ping pong ball
Like a ping like a ping like a ping pong ping pong ping

If I had a head like a ping pong ball,
If I had a head like a ping pong ball,
If I had a head like a ping pong ball,
I would surely float!

Old Lady Leary
Late last night, while we were all in bed,
Old Lady Leary left a lantern in her shed,
And when the cow kicked it over, she winked her eye and
said:
“It'll be a hot time in the old town tonight!”

The grand ol' duke of York,
He had ten thousand men,

And when you're only halfway up, you're neither up nor

Old man lived in the sewer
And by the sewer he died
They couldn’t call it murder,
So they called it sewer-cide, HEY
Rich man works in a factory,
Poor man works in a mine
We all work at KIA KIMA
And we don’t make a dime
Rich girl drives a Chevy
Poor girl drives a Ford
My girl drives an old gray mule
And beats it with a board
Rich girl bathes in the bathtub
Poor girl bathes in the sink
My girl she don’t bathe at all
And WHOO she does stink
Peanut sittin' on a railroad track
His heart was all a-flutter
Round the bend came Number 10
Toot-toot peanut butter
Chicken sittin' on a railroad track
His heart was all a-pallid
Down the line came Number 9
Toot-toot chicken salad
Thirty days hath April
November and no wonder
All the rest have peanut butter
Except grandmother she rides a tricycle!
Johnny Verbeck
Once there was a Dutchman
His name was Johnny Verbeck
He made the finest sausages and sauerkraut and speck.
He made the finest sausages that'll evermore be seen,
Till one day he invented a sausage makin machine.
Chorus:
Oh, Mr. Johnny Verbeck, how could you be so mean,
I told you, you'd be sorry for inventin' that machine
now all the neighbors cats and dogs will nevermore be
seen
For they've all been ground to sausages in Johnny
Verbeck's machine.
One day a boy came walkin' a walkin' thru the door.
He bought a pound of sausages and laid them on the floor.
The boy began to whistle, He whistled up a tune.
And all the little sausages went dancin' round the room.
Chorus
One day the machine got busted the darn thing wouldn't
go,
So Johnny Verbeck he climbed inside to see what made it
so.
His wife she had a nightmare, and walking in her sleep
She gave the crank a heck of a yank and Johnny Verbeck
was meat!
�Gray Squirrel
Gray squirrel, gray squirrel,
Swoosh your bushy tail.
Gray squirrel, gray squirrel,
Swoosh your bushy tail.
Pick a nut up with your toes,
Wrinkle up your little nose,
Gray squirrel, gray squirrel,
Swoosh your bushy tail.

As the years roll by.
Onward ever be our watchword;
Conquer and prevail.

Can I guiltless sleep tonight?
Have I done and have I dared
Everything to be prepared.

A terrible death to die,

A terrible death to be talked to death,
A terrible death to die.
Row, row, row your boat,
Gently down the stream,
Ha-ha, fooled you, it's a submarine.
And when you're up, you're up,
And when you're down, you're down,
And when you're only halfway up,
You're neither up nor down.
We sold our cow, MOOOOOOOOO!
We sold our cow, MOOOOOOOOO!
We have no use for your bull now!
Have you ever seen a windbag, a windbag, a windbag,

Blows this way and that way and this way and that way,
Have you ever seen a windbag, well there's one right now!

Waaaay up in the sky, the big birdies fly
While down in the nest, the little birds rest

Boom boom, boom boom, is heard through the land.
Down comes the birdie with only one wing
Stomp stomp, stomp stomp, now no birdies sing.

He bought a pound of sausages and laid them on the floor.
The boy began to whistle, He whistled up a tune.
And all the little sausages went dancin' round the room.

She gave the crank a heck of a yank and Johnny Verbeck
was meat!

Where To Go
Camping Guide
Produced for Chickasaw Council
by Ahoalan-Nachpikin
Lodge 558
�To the Scouts and Scouters of the Chickasaw Council:
The Order of the Arrow is a program based on service and camping and it is our
duty to promote camping within the council. This book is constructed to inform
the units of camping locations in an effort to increase camping experience of
units in the Chickasaw Council.
This book is an effective reference when being used to plan your unit’s outings.
Inside you will find a list of State Parks located around the Mid-South and a
number of other locations for a long weekend or summer trip. There is a chart of
the available facilities for each State Park along with directions on how to get
there. There is also a list of websites that can come in handy when planning your
outdoor adventure.
Camping is one of the greatest experiences in Scouting, yet not many scouts get
the chance. Please use this book to help Scouts experience the joy of an outdoor
adventure.
Yours in Service,
Adam Carr
Lodge Chief
Ahoalan-Nachpikin Lodge #558

Inside you will find a list of State Parks located around the Mid-South and a
number of other locations for a long weekend or summer trip. There is a chart of
the available facilities for each State Park along with directions on how to get
there. There is also a list of websites that can come in handy when planning your
outdoor adventure.
Camping is one of the greatest experiences in Scouting, yet not many scouts get
the chance. Please use this book to help Scouts experience the joy of an outdoor
adventure.
Yours in Service,

MEMPHIS 3, TENNESSEE
�he Boy Scouts of America
established a set of physical
tests for the Personal Fitness
merit badge in 1953. Since then,
because of great interest in com•
paring achievements in this
country and abroad, hundreds
of thousands of boys and girls
have been given physical tests.
From this work done by the
American Association for
Health, Physical Education, and
Recreation-the organization of
our physical educators and
coaches-reliabl.e standards
have been established for youth
between the ages of ten to seventeen. The same ones are recommended by the President's Council on Youth Fitness.
T
We are living in an exciting time . in our history
It is our belief that a hundred years from now
historians will ascribe to this decade the
responsibility and the foundation for what will
follow in the entire century. Only twice before
in our his t ory . .. the period of the American
Revolut ion, and the period of the War between the
States has so much depended upon our right choices,
our right thinking, and our spoken thoughts.
As we start out and continue through our second
fifty years of Scouting in America, it is all the
more important that we train for the future,
men tally, morally and physically. Our pro~ram
should be geared to the third part of the Scout
Oath . We hope that the changes we make from time
to time in our program, and especially in our
beloved Camporee, will be in keeping with this
thought.
We do not have a theme, as such, but if we did, it
mi ght be "Fun through Learning" in keeping with the
great challenges ahead of us.
As you plan and work for this year's Camporee, we
trust that you wi l l keep in mind the wonderful
opportunity you have through Scouting to have fun
and adventure and to become better citizens.

seventy-five feet apart. On a signal,
teams rush toward one another. When

We are living in an exciting time .in our history
It is our belief that a hundred years from now
historians will ascribe to this decade the
responsibility and the foundation for what will
follow in the entire century. Only twice before
in our his t ory . .. the period of the American
Revolut ion, and the period of the War between the
States has so much depended upon our right choices,
our right thinking, and our spoken thoughts.
As we start out and continue through our second
fifty years of Scouting in America, it is all the
more important that we train for the future,
mentally, morally and physically. Our pro~ram
should be geared to the third part of the Scout
Oath. We hope that the changes we make from time
to time in our program, and especially in our
beloved Camporee, will be in keeping with this
thought.
We do not have a theme, as such, but if we did, it
might be "Fun through Learning" in keeping with the
great challenges ahead of us.
As you plan and work for this year's Camporee, we
trust that you wil l keep in mind the wonderful
opportunity you have through Scouting to have fun
and adventure and to become better citizens.
T he Boy Scouts of America
established a set of physical
tests for the Personal Fitness
merit badge in 1953. Since then,
because of great interest in com•
paring achievements in this
country and abroad, hundreds
of thousands of boys and girls
have been given physical tests.
From this work done by the
American Association for
Health, Physical Education, and
Recreation-the organization of
our physical educators and
coaches-reliabl.e standards
have been established for youth
between the ages of ten to seventeen.
The same ones are recommended
by the President's Council
on Youth Fitness.

�This little book is written for Troop Officers responsible for dire"'tj -:s ':!.- i Troops in cooking ov-:r open fire::i
an over-nig ht, vreek- eud, camporees and lo!lGe term camps.
It is designed to be equal]y appllcab le to e Troop
when a Patrol cooks each day for the .1..0::.e T;.~oop , or Patrols
cooking for themselv es a part or all of their meals.
The thought behind this t ext is that nooir..ing daily in
camp for oneself and Scout .aee'Jcfa t3s i~ ··.~ ~ as much a part
of the Scout Program as sig~-mling , first aid , nature study ,
tracking and all the o~hF!r ; r ::'Jl!lpl :.r,~1lllE:nts of a real Scout.
Cooking is chemistr y. The test tubee, retorts, filter
cloths, and other laborato ry appar:it11e .<>.rP. rF-placed by pots,
frying pans, ovens , spoons , knives, fork.:> r.iL....::urir.g cups and
other cooking gear . For formulas we use recipes . Cooking is
chemistr y because we are actually chang.:.ng the chemica l composition of raw food into another form ma.king it inviting to
·
eat.
A Troop, a Patrol or a Scout ~ble to cook is a long ,
long way on the road to being self reliant.
The scheme outlined in the followin g pages is such that
no Troop Officer should ever be found guilty of doing the
Troop or Patrol cooking himoelf and thereby deprivin g his
Scouts of the opportun ity of becoming self depende nt and experienci ng the self-este em that comes from masterin g the art
of cookery in the out-of-d oors .
This pamphlet docs not cover "stunt" cooking, but the
fundame ntals of producin g substan tial and edible mee.ls in the
open, by practica l anc1 aound methods througa the Troop and
Patrol organiza tion.
Everythi ng that goes well has behind it a good. organiza tion, be it a great commerci al institut ion, a winn ng football
team or a "orack" Scout Troop . Each operatio n 1D1Wt have some
�Or anizatio
2.
particular person responsibl e for it, some person to see that
the right thing happens at the right time and in the right
pay .
l":lhe follouing c' 1 art covers the Troop cooking:

Now a look at the organizatio n chart shows that while
the Scoutmaste r has "control" h&-does not have charge of
the actual commissary , but looks to an .Assistant Scoutmaste r
to carry this responsib ility, and this of~icer discharges
his orders and instructio ns tbrough the Senior Patrol Leader
who sees to it that the four Patrol Leaders get their
_Patrols properly assigned to do "the actual details~ Even
the Patrol Leaders do -not stand by and tell first one and
then another Scout t1' do this and that, but pair them off
for a meal or a day _giving each pair a specific part of the
job.
The Scoutmaste r, exercising his responsib ility a s
control officer, decides whether the Troop shall cook by
Patrols or a Patrol for the Troop and whether for a day or a
deal . Thi~ he comi:runicat es to the Assistant Scoutmaste r , who
at. once arranges to issue food accordingl y and advises the
Senior Patrol Lead£r of the arrangemen t. The Senior Patrol
Leader advises the Patrol Leaders and checks as to assignments . Thus the burden of the job is distribute d to the
whole organizatio n and everyone k;nows what he is expected to
do . There is no distra cted Scoutmaste r in this Troop bending
over a fire trying to cook for the whole gang; no shouting
of -o.rders and running to and fro or asking questions , or
three or four persons doing all the v.orlt and the r emainder
loafing about uith nothing to do; because the control (Scou
master) has plenty of -time to think up something t:or everyone to do and thereby keep them happy.
A glance at the ch2rt, with advice that they are to
cook by Patrols 11 meals around", and the Patrol Leader kno·s
that Nos. 1 and 2 are cooks for the ..first meal, Nos. 2 and ~
fer the next and so on. If' the order is a Patrol to cook
for the day and the cha.rt shows 1.hich Patrol and the other
three Patrols get something else to do. ··
.
The job of the cooks is plain. They- get the menu f'ro~
the Patrol Leaders . The Assistant Scoutmaste r already ues
f'ut-nished it to the Patrol Leader, as well as the food

The Clean-up Scouts don 't have anything to look ~ter
until the aeal is over. Then they wash the dishes, poll.~e the
dining a.cd kitchen area, and dispose of the garbage. This
rocedure changes in one respect when one Patrol cooks for

each Patrol uash their Patrol's dishes. But t.ae clean up pair

Foocl ~onsists of tno classes, one "perishable" and the
other "staple." The perishables must be assembled daily , while
the staples m:y be assembled for longer periods, provided a
satisfactory place is available for storage.
Scouting tenure is prof01.mdly affected by the ca-mping
program, for here, more than in alnost any other activity is
the Scout a.f'forded the opportunity for adventure and romance.
Therefore, it logically follows that the greater nu.n:ber of
Scouts that can be gotten into camp the better are the
chances of meeting the Four Year Tenure Objective . It
naturally follous that the more flexible the met.hods of getting to camp, the greater the number Scouts who can :o.eet
these conditions . It is easy for leaders to say "pay so much
money and food will be provided . 11 But many Scout parents have
food, but no money. I f they can provide the Scout filth =ood
he can come to camp.
Again, almost arry Troop can furnish staple goods from
home, through donations, or otherwise, for several days caep,
but find great difficulty in arranging daily deliveries for
perishables. The logical thing is for the Local C01.mcil to
provide these things through a Camp Trading Post. This can be
done on basis of Troops filing orders the day previous for
bread, butter, meats, milk, etc. In this way no surplus
accumulates and no loss occurs.
Much care must be exercised in preparing food lists for
food to be assembled from homes to the end that quantities
are expressed in terms that mothers can measure. For instance,
"a pound of flour" is a bard problem to solve in most hoi::es ,
forsmall scales are scarce, but "a pint of flour" is easier,
and "a pint is a pound", and easier still is, - "tuo cups"
"for two cups are a pint." Use connts for prunes, apricots ,
dried peaches, etc.
Six medium sized prunes, ten apricots or eight dried

�Washing Dishes
This job should be performe d qy each Patrol assignin g
two Scouts for a meal or a day. The "clean up" the fire detail should see to it that the 18 quart pot is put on full of
water as soon as released from cooking and before the meal is
served. This is .rinse water. Each Patrol should be furnishe d
with a deep-fat wire frying basket. They scrape their dishes
~lean of all garbage first, then wash them sight clean after
which they place them i..'1. the wire baskets and "souse" them up
and down in the hot water in the 18 quart pot, and then place
them to dry without using a tonel.

FOOD COST ACCOUNTING
The cost of food should be calculat ed at close of evening mess each day on a short term c~p, and at the close of
each tv1enty-f irst meal for long term camps. Of course if the
camp closes before the 21st meal, then at close of last meal
served in camp.
Under the plan outlined in this pamphle t, this is the
duty. .of the Assistan t Scoutma ster in charge of Physical
Arrangem ents. He may, however, as a matte!' of educatin g .:..•·- .'.
Scouts in the routine of Food Cost Accounti ng, elect, if the
Scoutma ster (the policy directin g office) approves , to have
a Scout Quarterm aster designat ed in each Patrol to figure
this cost for the time his Patrol is responsi ble for cooking.
The respons ibility for correctn ess is still the Assistan t
Scoutma s.ters. It is, however, r10rth the effort.
Firsti get a bill for every single item of food purchased. If food is donated in bulk, put an estimate d price
0n same. (In case each Scout brings his own food cost
accounti ng is not necessar y.)
Second - Keep a strict account of the number of meals
served each mess. Do not count complim entary meals - only
count meals eaten by those who have to stand the cost - or
whose meals will be paid for.

This little book is written for Troop Officers responsible
for dire"'tj -:s ':!.- i Troops in cooking ov-:r open fire::i
an over-night, vreek- eud , camporees and lo!lGe term camps.
It is designed to be equal]y appllcable to e Troop
when a Patrol cooks each day for the .1 .. 0::.e T;.~oop , or Patrols
cooking for themselves a part or all of their meals.
The thought behind this t ext is that nooir..ing daily in
camp for oneself and Scout .aee'Jcfat3s i~ ··.~ ~ as much a part
of the Scout Program as sig~-mling , first aid, nature study,
tracking and all the o~hF!r ; r ::'Jl!lpl :.r,~1lllE:nts of a real Scout .
Cooking is chemistry. The test tubee, retorts, filter
cloths, and other laboratory appar:it11e .<>.rP. rF-placed by pots,
frying pans, ovens , spoons , knives, fork.:> r.iL....::urir.g cups and
other cooking gear. For formulas we use recipes . Cooking is
chemistry because we are actually chang.:.ng the chemical composition
of raw food into another form ma.king it inviting to
eat. ·
A Troop, a Patrol or a Scout ~ble to cook is a long ,
long way on the road to being self reliant.
The scheme outlined in the following pages is such that
no Troop Officer should ever be found guilty of doing the
Troop or Patrol cooking himoelf and thereby depriving his
Scouts of the opportunity of becoming self dependent and experiencing
the self-esteem that comes from mastering the art
of cookery in the out-of-doors .
This pamphlet docs not cover "stunt" cooking, but the
fundamentals of producing substantial and edible mee.ls in the
open, by practical anc1 aound methods througa the Troop and
Patrol organization.
Everything that goes well has behind it a good. organization,
be it a great commerc ial institution, a winn ng football
team or a "orack" Scout Troop . Each operation 1D1Wt have some
2 .
particular person responsible for it, some person to see that
the right thing happens at the right time and in the right
pay .
l":lhe follou ing c '1 art covers the Troop cooking:

Or anizatio
Now a look at the organization chart shows that while
the Scoutmaster has "control" h&-does not have c harge of
the actual commissary, but looks to an .Assistant Scoutmaster
to carry this responsibility, and this of~icer discharges
his orders and instructions tbrough the Senior Patrol Leader
who sees to it that the four Patrol Leaders get their
_Patrols properly assigned to do "the actual details~ Even
the Patrol Leaders do -not stand by and tell first one and
then another Scout t1' do this and that, but pair them off
for a meal or a day _giving each pair a specific part of the
job.
The Scoutmaster, exercising his responsibility a s
control officer, decides wh ether the Troop shall cook by
Patrols or a Patrol for the Troop and whether for a day or a
deal . Thi~ he comi:runicates to the Assistant Scoutmaster, who
at. once arranges to issue food accordingly and advises the
Senior Patrol Lead£r of the arrangement. The Senior Patrol
Leader advises the Patrol Leaders and checks as to assignments
. Thus the burden of the job is distributed to the
whole organization and everyone k;nows what he is expected to
do . There is no distra cted Scoutmaster in this Troop bending
over a fire trying to cook for the whole gang; no shouting
of -o.rders and running to and fro or asking questions , or
three or four persons doing all the v.orlt and the r emainder
loafing about uith nothing to do; because the control (Scou
master) has plenty of -time to think up something t:or everyone
to do and thereby keep them happy.
A glance at the ch2rt, with advice that they are to
cook by Patrols 11 meals around", and the Patrol Leader kno·s
that Nos. 1 and 2 are cooks for the ..first meal, Nos. 2 and ~
fer the next and so on. If' the order is a Patrol to cook
for the day and the cha.rt shows 1.hich Patrol and the other
three Patrols get something else to do. ·
. -
The job of the cooks is plain. They- get the menu f'ro~
the Patrol Leaders. The Assistant Scoutmaster already ues
f'ut-nished it to the Patrol Leader, as well as the food
list, which the Patrol Leader turns over to the Q •• 's.
The Q. M.'s are responsible for bringing the food from the
coIU!:lissary . The P.L. lines up the wood.and water "buddies"
ho get these supplies and start the fires~
The Clean-up Scouts don 't have anything to look ~ter
until the aeal is over. Then they wash the dishes, poll.~e the
dining a.cd kitchen area, and dispose of the garbage. This
rocedure changes in one respect when one Patrol cooks for
~e .hole . Troop, and that is that.one pair or.scouts from .
each Patrol uash their Patrol's dishes. But t.ae clean up pair
1 the Patrol on duty is responsible after the three off-Com-
~ssarJ Patrols pairs have washed their dishes and cleaned
,;heir table tops .
, en a Patro1 is on duty the P.L. may not leave the
kitchen area until the wo rk bas been inspected by the S.P.L.
and he forrr.a.l.1y dismisses him.
A Troop out for one day or weekend or overnight, sho1:11d

Foocl ~onsists of tno classes, one "perishable" and the
other "staple." The perishables must be assembled daily , while
the staples m:y be assembled for longer periods, provided a
satisfactory place is available for storage.
Scouting tenure is prof01.mdly affected by the ca-mping
program, for here, more than in alnost any other activity is
the Scout a.f'forded the opportunity for adventure and romance.
Therefore, it logically follows that the greater nu.n:ber of
Scouts that can be gotten into camp the better are the
chances of meeting the Four Year Tenure Objective . It
naturally follous that the more flexible the met.hods of getting
to camp, the greater the number Scouts who can :o.eet
these conditions . It is easy for leaders to say "pay so much
money and food will be provided . 11 But many Scout parents have
food, but no money. If they can provide the Scout filth =ood
he can come to camp.
Again, almost arry Troop can furnish staple goods from
home, through donations, or otherwise, for several days caep,
but find great difficulty in arranging daily deliveries for
perishables. The logical thing is for the Local C01.mcil to
provide these things through a Camp Trading Post. This can be
done on basis of Troops filing orders the day previous for
bread, butter, meats, milk, etc. In this way no surplus
accumulates and no loss occurs.
Much care must be exercised in preparing food lists for
food to be assembled from homes to the end that quantities
are expressed in terms that mothers can measure. For instance,
"a pound of flour" is a bard problem to solve in most hoi::es ,
forsmall scales are scarce, but "a pint of flour" is easier,
and "a pint is a pound", and easier still is, - "tuo cups"
"for two cups are a pint." Use connts for prunes, apricots ,
dried peaches, etc.
Six medium sized prunes, ten apricots or eight dried

Washing Dishes
This job should be performed qy each Patrol assigning
two Scouts for a meal or a day. The "clean up" the fire detail
should see to it that the 18 quart pot is put on full of
water as soon as released from cooking and before the meal is
served. This is .rinse water. Each Patrol should be furnished
with a deep-fat wire frying basket. They scrape their dishes
~lean of all garbage first, then wa sh them sight clean after
which they place them i..'1. the wire baskets and "souse" them up
and down in the hot water in the 18 quart pot, and then place
them to dry without using a tonel.
FOOD COST ACCOUNTING
The cost of food should be calculated at close of evening
mess each day on a short term c~p, and at the close of
each tv1enty-first meal for long term camps. Of course if the
camp closes before the 21st meal, then at close of last meal
served in camp.
Under the plan outlined in this pamphlet, this is the
duty . . of the Assistant Scoutmaster in charge of Physical
Arrangements. He may, howe ver, as a matte!' of educating .:..•·- .'.
Scouts in the routine of Food Cost Accounting, elect, if the
Scoutmaster (the policy directing office) approves, to have
a Scout Quartermaster designated in each Patrol to figure
this cost for the time his Patrol is responsible for cooking.
The responsibility for correctness is still the Assistant
Scoutmas.ters. It is, however, r10rth the effort.
Firsti get a bill for every single item of food purchased.
If food is donated in bulk, put an estimated price
0n same. (In case each Scout brings his own food cost
accounting is not necessary.)
Second - Keep a strict account of the number of meals
served each mess. Do not count complimentary meals - only
count meals eaten by those who have to stand the cost - or
whose meals will be paid for.

It is fully r eco gnized that ther e are other very good
ways of carrying out t h e pr oblem of feeding a Troop of Scouts .
This pamphlet howe ve r , has been written in an effort to develop
full y and logically , one method , to the end that it
will be a guide and will contain the essentiei.ls, which are :
· 1. That a Troop cooki ng its own mea.ls is playing one of
t he mos t f asci nating games in Scouting .
2 . That a sound scheme of org&nizing the details is
most important.
5. That menus and provisioning are basica lly a matter
of s e curing vari ety •
4 . That t he greate st ad~nture comes from cooking over open
fire s.
5.Tha t elaborate cooking gear is not neccessary.
' 6. That kno wing how to figure costs is not only desirable,
but the es s ence of teaching practical economics .
