BSA Troop 156 - 2007 Spring Cook-Off Photos
Home Page Upcoming Events Vision Statement A Guide For Members Scouting Links Photos
The Spring Cook-Off Weekend was our first campout with Troop 156. My son had just crossed over to Boy Scouts. The Spring Cook-off is an annual event. Patrols of Scouts compete against each other and the Adult Leaders also compete to determine which patrols are the best cooks.
I must admit, there were a lot of great meals prepared and served this weekend as you are about to see.
Camp Kiwanis was where we stayed. It is located between Mason and Williamston, south of I-96 between Williamston Road and Okemos Road. As we turned onto Williamston Road from the expressway, I realized I was adding some personal history to my experience of the weekend. We drove past the house that my mom and dad brought me home to after I was born over 50 years ago. My first memories were of the noise of the construction equipment and the people on them building I-96. With the Boy Scouts you never know where your journeys will take you.
The Troop had bunk beds to sleep in on this campout. It was March 30 when we arrived. The next morning, I realized how serious this cook-off was. We spent a lot of time cooking the next day and a half, but we ate real good.

In between meals, the Boy Scouts worked on requirements in their books, went on hikes, built fires, and all the other activities they can do in camp.
