Beginner Techniques 

No-Cook Meals: Ideal for younger scouts, this method involves assembling meals without cooking, like sandwiches and fruit. 

Stick or Fork Cooking: A fundamental skill where food (hot dogs, marshmallows) is cooked directly over a fire on a stick or fork. 

Foil Packets: Ingredients are wrapped in heavy-duty aluminum foil and cooked directly in the coals of a campfire, often used for vegetables and simple dishes. 

Breakfast in a Bag: Eggs, bacon, and cheese are placed in a heavy-duty paper bag, then cooked by holding the bag over hot coals using a stick.
