Recipe Treasure Hunt   Recipe Treasure Hunt Activity  

This Activity is meant for Boy Scouts.
Decide for yourself if it is appropriate for your younger scouts or not.
Location:This Activity should be done Outside.
Each patrol finds a recipe, then gathers all the ingredients needed, cooks the recipe, and serves it to the judge.

A volunteer is needed to purchase all the ingredients.
Each patrol needs to bring a stove, pot, and matches – or they are provided.

A map is needed of the wide area with locations marked where volunteers can be found waiting with ingredients.
Each patrol explores each location, looking for a recipe. When they find a recipe, they can then go back to other locations and ask for specific amounts of ingredients.
You need to decide if a patrol must stay together or can divide into buddy pairs.

Getting Ready:
At kitchen area for each patrol, have pocketknife, baggie, 3 sheets aluminum foil, and paper plate.
Also have a backpacking stove and matches for each patrol OR have one large cooking fire already burning for all to cook on.

Items to distribute to 8 volunteers (all of one item with a single person):
  • Copies of recipe
  • Block of cheese from which they cut a slice
  • Loaf of bread, unsliced is better so they need to bring knife and get two slices
  • Package of ham, unsliced is better so they need to cut a slice
  • 2 sticks of butter, from which they cut as much as they want
  • 1 dozen eggs – 1 egg per patrol
  • Container of salt, bottle of hand sanitizer (this volunteer should track which patrols use sanitizer and report to judge at end)


Recipe and Goal: Make a toasted Egg McMuffin
  • Make sure your hands are clean before handling food
  • Make mini-skillet out of foil in which to cook egg.
  • Cook 1 egg
  • Heat one slice of ham
  • Melt one slice of cheese
  • Toast two pieces of bread
  • Assemble egg, meat, cheese, bread into sandwich and serve


The judge and/or his helper award points for first, second, third patrol that deliver the sandwich, as well as points for taste, presentation, and safe cooking practices.
