Cooking Camp

To Scouters Al and Blake,

Cooking Camp was great.  The adirondack was quite warm and cozy.  The best meals I had were the nachos (Friday night mug-up), the steak and potatoes (Saturday dinner) and the buddy burner grilled cheese (Saturday lunch).  The best parts of the trip / camp must have been making and cooking grilled cheese on the buddy burners, designing the Canadian Food Guide camp meals (it would be much better if we finish and use the menus for patrol camp, or make new ones), and making the muffin makers.  Don't forget free time!  The worst parts were the hike Friday and Saturday with our luggage (I got BAD pressure points) as well as the long talk about germs STANDING (chairs maybe?) and the muddy hike in the bush on Sunday.  The rest that I have not mentioned were not bad but not great, just good / OK.  There are no changes I would've made to the camp.  The camp was exceptional like planned and expected and I enjoyed it as well as getting my Cooking and Wildlife/Fish badges.  If you accept my feedback letter, I will be much closer to the Voyageur Scout Award.  I have 4 badges for at least 2 categories and after might get 1 seasonal Scout camper award (sorry if this is not the proper name for it).  All I will need is my 4 diamond badges (eg. Leadership, etc.).  To sum it up and end it, it was fabulous, great, extrodinary, spectacular, grand, surprising, restful (Alex!) and even amusing camp and I do really hope we have another camp just like it really, really soon.
