This requirement does not have to be completed on a campout. The requirement is to prepare a meal that would work well on a campout.
Before the meeting:
- Become familiar with the food groups using USDA My Plate.
- Coordinate with your pack leadership that your den will be cooking dinner during the campout for this Adventure to allow for proper planning.
- Identify a local grocery store for the den to meet at to shop for the ingredients for the balanced meal, tortilla wrap. Confirm the date, time, and location of the visit to the grocery store.
- Inform Cub Scouts, parents, and legal guardians of the date, time, and location of the visit to the grocery store and the details of the campout. Request that parents and legal guardians participate in the visit to the grocery store to provide additional supervision.
- Check with each parent or legal guardian for Cub Scouts to check for food allergies or dietary restrictions and make any necessary adjustments.
- Secure funding for food shopping with your pack leadership.
- Gather any needed supplies.
During the meeting:
- Have Cub Scouts wash hands.
- Gather around a table and set out ingredients for Cub Scouts.
- Have Cub Scouts build their sandwich.
- Place some lettuce in the center of a large burrito or wrap.
- On top of the lettuce, layer the cheese, and sliced tomatoes.
- Drizzle dressing to taste, then place the sliced turkey on top.
- Fold over ends and roll up tightly (like a burrito), then cut in half.
- Have Cub Scouts put their wrap into a large plastic baggie and label it with their name for transport.
- Go on a picnic with Cub Scouts.
