Outdoor Cooking Program

The Mercer Area Girl Scouts had lots of yummy, outside fun with Girl Scouts today at the Outdoor Cooking Program! The girls learned how to light a match, make firestarters and start a small fire, and how to cook in an orange, and with a box oven, hobo stove and a dutch oven over a trench.  They also learned how to wash their hands using a pidilator, and how to wash dishes at camp. Grilled cheese, vegetable soup, gingerbread, GORP, and 5 Cup Salad...YUM! A huge thank you to Miss Viki for taking the time to set up and lead the program, and to the families and leaders who helped the scouts at it.
