Ugh, I was turned off to joining the boys camping because of this. A scout needs to plan a menu to get the merit badge, so basically every camping trip menu is planned by a scout except the Quartermasters trip. After a dinner of mac & cheese with mashed potatoes I didn’t go again. I felt the Scoutmaster needed to give more guidance, but that wasn’t his style.
When I car camp it’s borderline gourmet! A 12" wok is a standard part of my kit.
