Food, Glorious Food!

  • Keep things simple - meals should be already planned for you by the facility or should be no-cook or something that parent volunteers can re-heat or prepare simply in standard kitchen facilities. Meal planning and prep should not be a big part of the girls first outing.
  • If you choose to prepare food with the girls, it should resemble a troop meeting (standard kitchen, no open fires or cooking that requires special training, equipment, or facilities).
  • If you bring food, store it safely with regards to
    • Temperature
    • Keeping it 'clean' and away from animals/critters/pets
    • Keeping it fresh (re-sealable packaging, etc.)
