Gray Owl Spring Camporee


This past weekend my Troop, Troop 57 out of Garland Texas attended the spring Camporee. The theme this time was cooking and the main competition was the Iron Chef contest. We had a great time hanging out with other local troops. The scouts built a rather elaborate tree structure to practice their knot tying skills. As a troop, we had good fortune in the cooking contests, taking third place in the cobbler contest with an apple-rhubarb cobbler. We also won the Iron Chef Award. the secret ingredient was Spam and we entered four dishes: Spam Tamales, Spam on Bowtie Pasta, Asian Spam Lettuce Wraps and Philly Spamsteak Sandwiches. The goal was to create a sort of world tour with Spam. I've posted the recipes under the Camping Recipes tab at the top of the site.
