Troop 55 Cooking and Recipe Resource

The Scouts of Troop 55 are cooking aficionados.  We put our supply of dutch ovens to use at almost every outing.  Each December, in a Troop 55 tradition, we have a troop-wide “Cooking Competition” at St. Francis Church.  The recipes and meal favorites celebrate the diversity and culture heritage of our troop.

 Check back!  This recipe and cooking resource will continue to grow!
