| Dirt in a bag | |||
| Preparation Method: | Plastic Bag | ||
| Serves: | Varies x 4 | ||
| Non-Food Items Needed: | Zip-loc brand bags measuring cup |
||
| Food Items Needed: | instant pudding mixes (# of girls divided by 4) milk chocolate cookies (Girl Guide cookies are great, or Fudge-os) gummy worms, spiders, centipedes, etc... |
||
| At Home Prep: | None | ||
| In Camp Prep/ Cooking Instructions: |
Girls line up, each picks up a bag (we usually set this up along a picnic table, leaders sitting on one side) add 1/4 of the amount of milk from the recipe on the side of the pudding box (about 1/2cup?), leader adds 1/4 of a package of pudding mix. *Leader* seals the Zip-loc bag. Girls squish, toss, roll, or otherwise agitate their bags until the pudding is completely mixed up. Then they can come back and have crushed cookies and gummy critters added. The pudding may need to sit in the shade to set for a couple of minutes (my girls usually eat it really runny) Use fingers or plastic spoons to eat... |

| Comments: | My Brownies aren't into very much ambitious cooking, but this is always a big hit on Sunday for lunch (and no dishes!) This is great for an outdoor meal with younger girls, since there are no dishes to do up. It helps to squeeze the air out of the bag before sealing. |

| Do It Yourself Trifle | |||
| Preparation Method: | No cook | ||
| Serves: | 24 or as many as you prepare for | ||
| Non-Food Items Needed: | 2 x 3-pint (1.5-liter), and 2 x 1.5-pint (1-liter) mixing bowls whisk large plates or trays |
||
| Food Items Needed: | Instant whipped-pudding mix and milk (allow 4 x 0.5-pint (0.25-liter) packet mixes for 24) 2 x 1-pint (0.5-liter) jellies left-over cakes left-over fruit or canned fruit lemon or orange juice to coat cut-up fresh fruit squirty cream (aerosol-type) chocolate flakes and 100s & 1000s cake sprinkles Any other left-overs, eg: yogurt, ice cream, custard |
||
| At Home Prep: | None | ||
| In Camp Prep/ Cooking Instructions: |
At least three hours before meal, mix up the instant puddings and jellies as per packet instructions and put in fridge. This is really geared up for indoor accommodation but maybe where you are, there are alternatives that could be used, that do not require a fridge. Cut up the cakes, put on tray(s) and cover. Cut up fruit and coat with fruit juice to stop discoloration. Put in a bowl or deep-sided tray and cover. |
||
| Serving Suggestions: | Place all the "trifle " contents along a table and the girls go along the line serving themselves with the things they like. | ||
| Comments: | It is a good idea to have an adult at the far end of the line to supervise the squirty cream The trouble with "normal " trifle is that some do not like jelly, some do not like the fruit etc, etc. With this idea they only take the things they like and go home with good memories of the "different " food at camp! |

| Dough Boys | |||
| Preparation Method: | Stick cooking over open flame | ||
| Serves: | 8-10 people (depends on size of refrigerated biscuit dough) | ||
| Non-Food Items Needed: | 4 foot long sticks, with bark scraped off of cooking end. Preferably 1/2 - 3/4 inch dowels work well. Plate for cinnamon sugar. Good flame on fire. |
||
| Food Items Needed: | Refrigerated biscuit dough cinnamon sugar to roll in or sprinkle on. |
||
| At Home Prep: | If using sticks, scrape off bark on one end of stick. Soak sticks in bucket of water, preferable over night. This will keep sticks from catching on fire. Open biscuit container, separate into individual biscuits. Roll one biscuit between hands, making one long snake (about 12-15 inches) May need 2 biscuits to do this. Wrap dough snake around cooking end of snake, so about 5-6 inches covers stick. Roll in or sprinkle on cinnamon sugar. Cook over, not in, open flame - 5 - 9 minutes, so dough puffs up and turns golden brown. Be sure dough boy is cooked thoroughly. |
||
| Serving Suggestions: | Carefully remove from stick onto plate, and eat when cool! | ||

| Cann't Go Wrong Dump Cake | |||
| Preparation Method: | Dutch Oven and coals | ||
| Serves: | 10-15, depending on how hungry and never any left over | ||
| Non-Food Items Needed: | Dutch Oven heavy duty alum foil good coals |
||
| Food Items Needed: | 1 yellow or white cake mix 1 can pie filling 1 can of same fruit as pie filling -- do not drain! 1 stick of margarine |
||
| At Home Prep: | None | ||
| In Camp Prep/ Cooking Instructions: |
Line Dutch Oven with alum foil (I'm assuming everyone knows care of the DO), in this order layer and add ingredients: 1 can pie filling, one cake mix, 1 can fruit, and top with margarine cut into pats over cake mix not covered by fruit. Do not mix or stir ingredients. Set on coals and place coals on top to cook. Any coals work fine -- wood or charcoal. Takes 20-30 minutes, depending on how long cooks can hold off eaters and how hot coals are. |
||
| Serving Suggestions: | Until all eaten....and everyone WILL want seconds. | ||
| Comments: | I am posting this even though there have been several other dump cakes written up because it is a deviation from the 1--1--1 recipe I was taught. Fruit is cheaper than pie filling, so it stretches the recipe. We make peach or apple cake, but cherry is the all-time favorite year after year. Very delicious....the girls never get tired of it. |
||
| Contributed by: | Elizabeth Basden | ||
| Variation I: | Try using two different kinds of fruit -- we usually use Cherry pie filling and crushed pineapple! We also top with pecans when we have them. Um, Um GOOD! Susan Abbey :) Daisy Troop #3005 San Antonio Area Council of Girl Scouts San Antonio, Texas, USA |
||
| Variation II: | Having a girl have her birthday at the troop camping trip. Make the dump cake for dessert, save a bit of the cake mix (powdered kind for our UK friends) and when cake is just about done: Mix the reserved cake mix with a little bit of water, not too runny, a little on the thick side. If you have cake decorating equipment, attach a round writing tip into bag. If not, make a paper cone out of parchment (is best) or other paper (in an emergency I have used notebook paper), leave a small hole at bottom of cone. Fill bag with the cake mix and write "Happy Birthday (name) " or if she's young enough her age in big numbers. Folks this little bit of mix will cook. The trick is that the cake top is brown and the writing is paler and the lettering will show up. Lela Arnes San Jacinto Council Houston, Texas |

| Faux Black Country Gateau | |||
| Preparation Method: | No preparation needed | ||
| Serves: | 6 - 8 | ||
| Non-Food Items Needed: | 1 large bowl 1 knife whisk (for the packet cream toppings) tin opener |
||
| Food Items Needed: | 1 large chocolate swiss roll (shop bought) 1 tin of black cherry pie filling 1 large tin of 'squirty' cream OR 2 pkts of Angel Delight OR 2 packets of instant cream dessert topping 1 chocolate flake |
||
| At Home Prep: | None. | ||
| In Camp Prep/ Cooking Instructions: |
Slice the swiss roll into slices. Divide the slices into two portions. Line the inside of a large serving bowl with one portion, reserving the other half. Open the tin of black cherry pie filling and empty over the swiss roll in the serving bowl. Following the directions on squirty cream tin, shake and then squirt a layer of cream over the cherry pie filling. Using the second portion of the swiss roll slices cover the squirty cream. Cover the second layer with another layer of squirty cream and then crumble the chocolate flake over the top. It's messy to serve - you need bowls rather than plates! |
||
| Serving Suggestions: | Try ice cream instead of squirty cream and when finished place into a cooler box until ready to serve. Try jam swiss roll and apple pie filling. Use with either squirty cream or ice cream - they both work well. |
||
| Comments: | My Guides love this recipe and we even tried it with custard - same result! | ||

| Non-Food Items Needed: | huge bowl small bowl big spoon something to eat off of and with |
||
| Food Items Needed: | 1 plain angel food cake 1 large container of ready-made whip topping 1 large can of cherry pie filling enough instant vanilla pudding to make 4 cups enough milk/powdered milk to make the instant pudding |
||
| At Home Prep: | none unless your using this at a troop meeting and want to make the pudding ahead | ||
| In Camp Prep/ Cooking Instructions: |
In small bowl make pudding and chill (fridge or cooler some puddings will even gel at room temp) use your hands to rip the cake into bite-size pieces Place cake pieces in huge bowl. Add pie filling to pudding when ready. Mix pudding/filling mix into cake pieces gently mix in whip cream or use to top after served |
||
| Serving Suggestions: | |||
| Comments: | Use sugar-free/fat-free pudding mix Use fat-free whip topping (Fat-Free Cool Whip is great) You can also use sugar-free pie filling and the recipe should be ok for most diabetics to eat Pre-packaged pudding can be substituted For a low-guilt variation to die for, use sugar-free chocolate pudding and crushed reduced-fat Oreo sandwich cookies (Thin Mints or Trefoils if you have extras!) rather than pie filling. ***WARNING*** do not make this with less than six people. You WILL eat it all (it doesn't keep well) and spend the rest of the day wondering what possessed you to do so. |

| Hobo Fruit Pie | |||
| Preparation Method: | fire or charcoal | ||
| Serves: | 1 pie per serving | ||
| Non-Food Items Needed: | Hobo Pie Maker | ||
| Food Items Needed: | 2 slices of bread, white or raisin are great 1 Tablespoon of fruit pie filling, flavor is your choice Butter, optional |
||
| At Home Prep: | none | ||
| In Camp Prep/ Cooking Instructions: |
Open pie maker and build pie on one side of cooker. Outside of bread may be covered in butter, oleo or cooking spray. Some cookers have non-stick coating so this isn't always needed. Use only one tablespoon of filling, because excess will leak out the sides and burn off anyway. Bring the handles of the cooker together and clamp closed. Lay cooker in coals for few minutes, turning 2-3 times. |
||
| Serving Suggestions: | Carefully open pie cooker and check to see if bread is done the way you want it. Use two oven mitts to transfer pie from cooker to your plate. Cookers should cool slightly before reuse. | ||
| Comments: | 4 to 8 cookers is usually enough for most size troops or groups. More than this at a time can be unsafe. Younger girls will take longer to build their pies, so one patrol can cook while the next patrol prepares theirs. Although I have used this recipe, I was reminded of it by an article in our Oakland Press. Published in the fall of 1996, Mary Bauer of Clarkston, Michigan wrote in to recommend this recipe, which is from an old Junior Girl Scout Handbook. |
