This challenge is open to all branches and units. The goal is to inspire creativity and imagination with camp food, specifically food cooked outside. We want great outdoor cooking recipes from you – whether cooked on a camp stove, a campfire or other outdoor means, like a solar oven. After you're satisfied with your creation(s), submit your recipe and pictures by the last challenge date (May 11) for the chance to win a prize. We'll share the submissions online for units across the country and around the world to try! We can't wait to showcase our members’ amazing talents.

To be eligible for a prize, your recipe must include at least:

  • Three or more ingredients for Sparks and Embers 
  • Four or more ingredients for Guides and
  • Four or more ingredients for Rangers and Trex
