Walking Leaders Survival Guide Survival Technique #1 – Make up a Den Yell! The Den yell can be a short rhyming yell or anything else you and the boys can think up! Let the boys’ imaginations go and have fun! At opening, closing, and surprise visits, your Den will be asked to give their Den yell. Survival Technique #2 – Remind them of “THE RULES”! Buddy System - Don’t go ANYWHERE without your buddy! No running in camp unless it’s part of a scheduled activity. If you’re not “going”, you’re not drinking enough water! Survival Technique #3 – Play Games! I SPY: One child chooses an object located within their field of sight. The remaining Scouts try to guess the object selected. Each boy gets to ask one question, such as “Is the object green?” The person to correctly guess the object gets to choose the next object. SCOUT OUT: The game is a spelling game and can be made more exciting by spelling “SCOUT OUT” very quickly. Your group forms a circle. Pick the starting point. The first scout says S, the 2nd says C, the 3rd says O, the 4th says U, etc. The person saying the T in OUT is removed from the game. Continue until only one scout remains, he is the winner. DOGGY DOGGY WHERE’S YOUR BONE: Your group forms a circle. One person is chosen to be the “person”. All other scouts are “doggies”. Give the “doggies” a stick. They pass it around and hide it behind their backs. The “person” must guess which “doggy” has the bone after closing his eyes and counting to 10. When the “person” locates the bone, the scouts switch places. BUZZ: Your group forms a circle. The object of the game is to say “BUZZ” instead of the multiple of 5 (1, 2, 3, 4, BUZZ, 6, 7, 8, 9, BUZZ, 11, 12, 13, 14, BUZZ, 16, etc.) Pick the starting point. The first scout says 1, the 2nd says 2, the 3rd says 3, the 4th says 4, the 5th says “BUZZ”, etc. The play continues around the circle. When a scout misses saying “BUZZ” or repeats a number, he is out of the circle. The last scout remaining is the winner. (This can be made harder by using “BUZZ” for a multiple of 7, etc.) Survival Technique #4 – Hiking/Walking Activities! Look at the world of nature through a Cub Scout’s eyes and see wonder and delight in the small scenes around us. These activities can be done while walking to the pool, walking to lunch, etc. SNOOP HIKE: Explore, be aware, notice unusual things, be snoopy. Look for the natural things and man-made things. Pick up litter. BABY HIKE: While walking, see how many nature babies can be seen, such as bird, leaf, fern, snail, etc.

Page 6 of 17

HOME SWEET HOME: Look for animal and insect homes. LISTENING HIKE: Walk quietly and listen for sounds of nature – wind, rustling leaves, birds, crickets, etc. Survival Technique #5 – Quiet/Resting/Cool-Down Activity! SOUND AND COLORS: Have the children lie down on their backs with both fists held up in the air. Every time someone hears a new bird song he lifts one finger. Who has the best hearing? (This is a wonderful way to make children aware of sounds and the stillness of nature.) For fun, see if you can count to ten without hearing a bird song. Vary the game by listening for general animal sounds or a sound like wind in the grass, falling leaves, etc. To get children to concentrate more deeply on any natural setting, ask them how many different colors and shades of colors they can see in front of them without moving from where they are standing or sitting. Survival Technique #6 – Sing songs! See the Songs section

All Emergencies will be reported immediately to the nearest Staff member, who will then immediately contact the Camp Director for instructions. In the absence of the Camp Director, the Program Director or Assistant Program Director will be notified.

Medical Procedures and Issues Osage Hills Cub Scout Day Camp has as a goal to be as safe as possible. To that end, a number of possible medical issues are listed in this manual. It is important to note that ALL ACCIDENTS AND INJURIES are to be reported to the on duty Medical Officer. The Medical Officer is trained to handle all basic first aid needs. All injuries must be logged in the camp Medical Log.

TICKS Any embedded tick should be brought to the Medical Officer for removal. Each tick will be recorded and saved in the camp Medical Logs. The above items pertain to all persons at Cub Scout Day Camp, including participants, staff, and guests.

HEAT EXHAUSTION Heat Exhaustion is characterized by fatigue, weakness and collapse due to intake of water inadequate to compensate for loss of fluids through sweating.

Page 9 of 17

Heat Exhaustion is caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures, combined with intense sunshine or poor ventilation, and sometimes with strenuous exercise. Signs and Symptoms 1. Approximately normal body temperature. 2. Pale and clammy skin. 3. Profuse perspiration 4. Tiredness, weakness. 5. Headache - perhaps cramps 6. Nausea - dizziness (possibly vomiting) 7. Possible fainting - victim will probably regain consciousness as the head is lowered. First Aid 1. Give the victim sips of water (1 teaspoon of salt per glass), or use Gatorade (half a glass every 15 minutes) over a period of one (1) hour. 2. Have the victim lie down and raise his feet from 8 - 12 inches. 3. Loosen the victim's clothing. 4. If the victim vomits, do not give him any more fluids. Victim should be seen by a physician. 5. After an attack of heat exhaustion, the victim should be advised to protect himself from abnormally warm temperatures for several days. Prevention 1. Drink plenty of fluids. 2. Wear light, loose, well-ventilated clothing.

HEAT STROKE Heat stroke is characterized by extremely high body temperature and disturbance of the sweating mechanism. This is an immediate, life-threatening emergency for which medical care is urgently needed. Heat stroke is caused by prolonged exposure to high temperatures, combined with intense sunshine or poor ventilation, and sometimes with strenuous exercise. Signs and Symptoms 1. Body temperature is high (105 degrees-l06 degrees F or higher) 2. Skin is flushed (red), hot and dry. 3. Pulse rate is rapid and strong (may exceed 160) 4. Victim may be or become unconscious. First Aid Cool the body immediately (Do not cool to below 102 degrees F rectally): 1. Undress victim - sponge body with cool water or rubbing alcohol. DO NOT USE ICE. Check the victim's temperature rectally every ten (10) minutes. Lightly redress victim when cooled sufficiently. 2. Use fans, if available, to promote cooling. 3. If the victim's temperature starts to go up again, start the cooling process again. 4. Do not give the victim stimulants. A physician should see the victim after condition has been stabilized.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN SPOTTED FEVER Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is a seasonal acute febrile (high temperature) from May to September when adult ticks are active and when persons are most apt to be in areas infested by ticks. Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever is caused by an organism harbored in an infected tick, which is transmitted through the tick bite. Signs & Symptoms 1. The incubation period averages seven (7) days, but may vary from 3-12 days. 2. Onset is abrupt, with severe headache, shills, prostration (exhaustion), and/or muscular pains. 3. Fever reaches 103-4 degrees F within two (2) days of onset and remains high (for up to 20 days in severs cases), though morning remissions may occur. Unproductive (dry) cough develops 4. About the fourth day of fever a rash appears on the wrists, ankles, palms, soles, and forearms, then rapidly extends to the neck, face, armpits, buttocks and trunk. Four days later, the rash may worsen and become ulcerated. 5. General symptoms include: a. Headache b. Restlessness c. Insomnia d. Delirium e. Coma First Aid Consult physicians promptly if any signs and symptoms are evident so proper antibiotic therapy can be instinctually. (Antibiotic therapy has significantly reduced the death rate from this disease.) Prevention 1. Carefully remove tick, taking care that all parts are removed. 2. With soap and water, thoroughly but gently scrub the area from which the tick has been removed. 3. Apply dressing if needed.

NOSE INJURIES Severe nosebleeds can be frightening to the victim. It is possible that enough blood can be lost to cause shock. Nose injuries are usually caused by a blow from a blunt object. The result is often a nosebleed. High blood pressure or changes in altitude can also cause nosebleeds. First Aid

Page 11 of 17

To control a nosebleed have the victim sit with the head slightly forward, chin toward chest. Then pinch the nose shut. Bleeding can also be controlled by applying an ice pack to the bridge of the nose or putting pressure on the upper lip just beneath the nose. Once you have controlled the bleeding, tell the victim to avoid rubbing, blowing, or picking the nose, since it could restart the bleeding. Latter, you may apply a little petroleum jelly inside the nostril to help keep it moist. The victim should seek medical care if the nosebleed continues after you use the techniques described, if bleeding starts again, or if the victim says the bleeding is the result of high blood pressure. If the victim looses consciousness, place the victim on his side to allow blood to drain from the nose. Call EMS immediately. If you think an object is in the nose, look into the nostril. If you see the object and can easily grasp it, then do so. However, do not probe the nostril with your finger. This may push the object farther into the nose and cause bleeding or make it more difficult to remove later. If the object cannot be removed easily, the victim should receive medical care.

EYE INJURIES Injuries to the eye can involve the bone and the tissue surrounding the eye, or the eyeball. Blunt objects like a fist may injure the eye area, or a smaller object may penetrate the eyeball. Foreign bodies that get in the eye, such as dirt, sand, or slivers of wood or metal, are irritating and can cause a lot of damage. Signs and Symptoms 1. The eye produces tears immediately in an attempt to flush out the foreign objects. 2. The irritation may be very painful. 3. The victim may have difficulty opening the eye because light irritates it more. First Aid First, try to remove the foreign body by telling the victim to blink several times. Then try gently flushing the eye with water. If the object remains the victim should receive professional medical attention. Flushing the eye with water is also appropriate if the victim has any chemical in his eye. The eye should be continuously flushed until EMS personnel arrive. Care for open or closed wounds around the eyeball as you would for any other soft tissue injury. Injury to the eyeball itself requires different care. Injuries that penetrate the eyeball or cause the eye to be removed from its socket are every serious and can cause blindness. Call EMS immediately. Never put direct pressure on the eyeball. Instead, provide care as follows: 1. Place the victim on his back. 2. Do not attempt to remove any object that has entered the eyeball. 3. Place a sterile dressing around the object. 4. Stabilize any impaled object in place as best you can. You can do this using a paper cup to support the object. 5. Close and cover the unaffected eye to keep blood, fluid, or dirt from entering.

BURNS Burns are injuries resulting from exposure to heat, chemicals, electricity, or radiation. The severity of a bum depends on the temperature of the object or gas causing the burn, how long the skin was exposed to the source, the location and extent of the bum, and the victim's age and medical condition. Burns have many causes, including carelessness with matches and cigarettes; scalds from hot water and other liquids; defective heating, cooking, and electrical equipment; unsafe use of flammable liquids to start fires and clean floors; prolonged exposure to the sun; and fires. The hazards of fire include not only the visible bums but also respiratory and circulatory emergencies. Signs and Symptoms Generally there are three depth classifications: 1st degree (superficial); 2nd degree (partial thickness); and 3rd degree (full thickness). 1st degree burns: 1st degree burns involve only the top layer of skin. The skin is red and dry, and the burn is painful. The area may swell. Most sunburns are 1st degree burns. 1st degree burn usually heal in 5 to 6 days without permanent scarring. 2nd degree burns: 2nd degree burns are deeper than 1st degree burns. The burned skin will look red and have blisters. The skin may appear wet if the blisters are open. The burned skin may look mottled. 2nd degree burns are usually painful, and the area often swells. The burn usually heals in 3 to 4 weeks. Scarring may occur. 3rd degree burns: 3rd degree burns extend through the skin and into the structures below the skin. These burns may look brown or charred (black). The tissue underneath may look white. 3rd degree burns can be very painful or may be relatively painless if the bum destroyed the nerve endings in the skin. The scarring that occurs may be severe. 3rd degree burns are life threatening. First Aid 1. Cool the burned area by flushing it with water until it is cool to the touch. Apply light dressing to prevent infection. 2. Treat for shock. 3. If a burn is severe contact physician.

Emergency Procedure Flash Flood Definition: A Flash Flood Emergency is when rapidly rising streams or run off waters pose a danger to life or property. Reporting: The Dinning Hall will have a camp radio base station to be used to monitor Radio Traffic. If a Flash Flood Watch, Warning, or Advisory is issued the Camp Director, Ranger, Health Officer, Assistant Camp Director and Commissioner will be notified. If time permits, each program area with a radio or phone will be notified of the potential for Flash Flood. Campers: Will be advised by staff of possible Flash Flooding. Staff will notify campsites in favored low lying areas first, followed by remaining sites. If a Flash Flood develops during program times program sites will be notified by telephone, radio, or personal visit by Senior Staff. Campers should use the buddy system and move to the Dinning Hall if possible or another place of safety. Take care to avoid low-lying areas and do not cross swift or deep running water. There is practically nowhere in this camp that you can't go directly up hill and avoid a Flash Flood. DON'T WASTE TIME PACKING. You don't have anything more valuable than your lives! Safe Areas: The Dinning Hall is the ultimate safety location from a Flash Flood. However, running water, lighting, downed power lines, or other hazards may keep you from reaching the Dinning Hall. Other safe areas can be found halfway up almost any hill. Take care to avoid areas under power lines. The Dinning Hall and Cub Cabin are generally considered safe from Flash Flooding. Campsites and program areas that are in ravines (Archery, Main Field, Clay Hill Council Ring, Hermit Cabin, Rock-House area, C.O.P.E) are generally poor locations. Staff: If a Flash Flood is immanent, and it is safe to do so, the program area staff should direct Scouts to the Dinning Hall. If not safe, take Scouts and leaders in your program area and guide them to a place of safety. Take a head count and troop number of Scouts, Scouters, and Staff. If safe to do so, call Administration building and report your location and head counts. Staff not in a program area should secure their area and move to a place of safety. Assist Scouts and Scouters along the way. If in tent city, secure your personal gear, secure tent, assist others in securing their tents and go to the Dinning Hall and await instructions. Staff

should take notice of location of overhead power lines. It is not safe to sit with a power line above you!

Emergency Procedure for Lost or Missing Youth Definition: A youth is considered lost or missing when they fail to appear at a location or event as expected by other scouts or adult leaders.

Communicate information discretely with Camp Director, Ranger, and Commissioner. Prepare to receive missing youth as patient. Camp Director: Talk to leader of missing youth. Check on possibility youth left camp with another leader without checking out. Determine priority of search. o Low priority - Assign one or more staff to check campsite, Including tents and latrines, call or visit program areas and see if youth can be found. o Medium priority - implement a Senior Staff Coordinated search. Senior Staff are mobilized to visit each program area, campsite, shower area, and camp buildings.(utilize check off sheets). o High Priority- Implement a Complete Coordinated Staff Search. Scout movement in camp will be frozen. All scouts will be held in program areas and campsites until an all clear is given.

Deep in the Heart of Texas

Don’t Fence Me In

by June Hershey

By Cole Porter

The stars at night are big and bright

Oh, give me land, lots of land under starry skies above.

Deep in the heart of Texas. The prairie sky is wide and high Deep in the heart of Texas. The sage in bloom is like perfume Deep in the heart of Texas. Reminds me of the one I love Deep in the heart of Texas.

Don‘t fence me in. Let me ride through the wide-open country that I live. Don‘t fence me in. Let me be by myself in the evening breeze, Listen to the murmur of the cottonwood trees. Send me off forever, but I ask you please; I Love the Mountains

Happy Trails to You

I love the mountains; I love the rolling hills;

by Dale Evans

I love the flowers, I love the daffodils;

Happy trails to you, until we meet again.

I love the campfire, when all the lights are low;

Happy trails to you, keep smilin‘ until then.

Boom-de-adda, Boom-de-adda, Boom-de-adda,

Who cares about the clouds when we‘re

Boom-de-ay.

together?

Boom-de-adda, Boom-de-adda, Boom-de-adda,

Just sing a song and bring the sunny weather.

Boom-de-ay.

Happy trails to you, til we meet again.

(repeat entire song) [This may be used as a round or two-part singing with one part singing ―Boom-de-adda‖

Wild and Woolly West (Tune: On Top of Old Smokey) Way out in the wild west where I like to go, The cowboys herd cattle with horse and lasso. The Indians are peaceful, they love to roam free, Our great western brothers who live in teepees. So put on your outfit and travel with me, It‘s wild western living I want you to see.

while the other sings the verse.] Pioneers (Tune: Are You Sleeping) Pioneers, pioneers, Long ago, long ago. Roamed about the country, Roamed about the country. Building towns, Building towns.

I’ve Been Working in the Gold Mine

Home on the Range

(Tune: I’ve Been Working on the Railroad)

Oh, give me a home

I‘ve been working in the Gold Mine all the

Where the buffalo roam,

livelong day,

Where the deer

I‘ve been working in the Gold Mine

And the antelope play.

Just to find gold for my pay,

Where seldom is heard

Can‘t you feel the Gold Rush Fever?

A discouraging word,

It‘s all through my bones.

And the skies

Don‘t you wish that you could see it

Are not cloudy all day.

Oh that beautiful Gold…. Chorus: Gold Strike here I come

Home, home on the range.

Gold Strike here I come

Where the deer and

Gold Strike here I come for you, for you.

The antelope play.

Gold Strike here I come

Where seldom is heard

Gold Strike here I come

A discouraging word,

Gold Strike here I come for you.

And the skies Are not cloudy all day.

Back in the Saddle Again I'm back in the saddle again, out where a friend is a friend, Where the long horn cattle feed on the lonely jimson weed I'm back in the saddle again. Ridin' the range once more, totin' my old forty-four, Where you sleep out every night and the only law is right, Back in the saddle again.

Whoopi ti yi yo, rockin' to a fro, back in the saddle again Whoopi ti yi yea, I'll go my own way Back in the saddle again.

Where the air is so pure The zephyrs so free, The breezes so balmy and light. That I would not exchange My home on the range For all the cities so bright.

COWBOY’S DREAMS (Tune: My Bonnie) Last night as I lay on the prairie, And looked at the stars in the sky, And I wondered if ever a cowboy Could drift to that sweet by and by. Roll Roll Roll Roll

on, on, on, on,

roll on, little doggies, roll on, roll on. roll on, little doggies, roll on.

The road to that bright happy region Is a dim narrow trail, so they say; But the broad one that leads to perdition Is posted and blazed all the way. Roll Roll Roll Roll

on, on, on, on,

roll on, little doggies, roll on, roll on. roll on, little doggies, roll on.

They say there will be a great roundup, And cowboys like doggies will stand, To be cut by the riders of Judgment, Who are posted and know every brand. Roll Roll Roll Roll

on, on, on, on,

roll on, little doggies, roll on, roll on. roll on, little doggies, roll on.

I wonder if ever a cowboy Stood ready for that Judgment Day, And could say to the boss of the riders, I'm ready -- come drive me away. Roll Roll Roll Roll

on, on, on, on,

roll on, little doggies, roll on, roll on. roll on, little doggies, roll on.

GET ALONG, LITTLE DOGIES As I was walking one morning for pleasure, I saw a cowpuncher come riding along; His hat was thrown back and his spurs were all jingling, And as he approached, he was singing this song: Yippee ti yi yay, get along little doggies, Tis your misfortune and none of my own. Yippee ti yi yay, get along little doggies, For you know Wyoming will be your new home. WEAVE, WEAVE, WEAVE NEW CLOTH (Tune: Row, Row, Row, Your Boat) Weave, weave, weave, new cloth. In and out thread flies. A blanket, a blanket, a blanket, a blanket, To keep us warm at night. Throw, throw, throw a pot Squish the clay to knead. Twirl around, twirl around, twirl around, twirl around, Smooth as it can be. Build, Build, Build a house A-do-be stands the best, Make a brick, make a brick, make a brick, make a brick. On the cliffs it stands the test. CUB SCOUT INDIANS (Tune: On Top of Old Smokey) Down in the basement of the den leader’s house, The Cub Scouts were working as still as a mouse. They made bows and arrows and headdresses, too, They were going to be Indians:Cree, Blackfoot and Sioux. They painted their headbands red, green and blue And some of the Cub Scouts had painted arms too. They made shields and breechcloths and moccasins, too, And a big Indian tepee, large enough to walk through,

Pack meeting night came. They arrived on the scene; All dressed up like Indians, painted red, blue and green. They danced and sang loud chants around the campfire, They had Indian contests; no one seemed to tire. The room was all filled with excitement and noise. No one could believe that these Indians were boys. When the young Indians got home, the parents all said, They were glad that their boys were Cub Scouts instead.

And the wheat fields waving and the dust clouds rolling A voice was chanting, As the fog was lifting, This land was made for you and me.

HOME ON THE RANGE Oh give me a home, where the buffalo roam, Where the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard a discouraging word, And the skies are not cloudy all day.

She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes, (when she comes).

Chorus: Home, home on the range, Where the deer and the antelope play. Where seldom is heard, A discouraging word, And the skies are not cloudy all day.

The same structure is repeated with the following verses:

THIS LAND IS YOUR LAND This land is your land, this land is my land From California to the New York Island From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me. As I went walking that ribbon of highway I saw above me that endless skyway I saw below me that golden valley This land was made for you and me. I roamed and I rambled and I followed my footsteps To the sparkling sands of her diamond deserts While all around me a voice was sounding This land was made for you and me. When the sun came shining, and I was strolling

This land is your land, this land is my land From California to the New York Island From the Redwood Forest to the Gulf Stream waters This land was made for you and me. She’ll Be Coming ‘Round the Mountain She'll be coming 'round the mountain when she comes, (when she comes).

DAVY CROCKETT SKIT Characters:

Announcer, 6 Cub Scouts in Davy Crockett costumes; 7th Cub in dress clothes and wearing a coon skin cap.

Announcer:

Tonight we bring you the story of a famous American, Davy Crockett - a brave and powerful man. Raised in the woods of green Tennessee, he soon learned to know and name every tree.

Cub 1:

He learned to know the critters, from the Possum to the Bear, wait until you hear what he did with just a stare!

Cub 2:

He scared a coon right out of a tree with just a grin and a big old stare. He tried it on a bear, but the bear wouldn't scare, so he challenged him to a fist fight and won him fair and square!

Cub 3:

A streak of lightning Davy mounted; all the stars he named and counted. He caught the tail of a passing comet, and put a piece of sunrise in his pocket.

Cub 4:

Davy was caught between a panther and a bear, so you see he couldn't use just a simple little stare. He aimed "Old Betsy" at a rock between the two - the bullet split that rock and left a trail of blazing blue. One piece of rock killed the panther, the other demolished the bear. A mighty combination - "Old Betsy" and Davy's stare!

Cub 5:

Davy was a fighter honest, brave and true; but fighting, it was told to me, always made him blue. A treaty was signed. Davy helped make the peace. And in that land, fighting did cease.

Cub 6:

This is a fine country. It's worth fighting for. Guess I'll head for the fort called Alamo, where the Texans are fighting for liberty.

Announcer:

Folks liked Davy's way of doing things. They thought Davy ought to be a congressman and help run the country., The critters seemed to think so too. Even the crickets all chirped, "Crockett for Congress! Crockett for Congress!" In the nation's capitol, Congressman Crockett made this speech:

Cub 7:

I'm Davy Crockett, fresh from the backwoods. I'm half horse, half alligator, and a little bit tetched with snappin' turtle. I got the fastest horse, the prettiest sister, the surest rifle, and the ugliest dog in Tennessee.

ALL BOYS:

SING "DAVY CROCKETT"

THE OLDEST SETTLER IN THE WEST Cub #1:

AMERICAN FOLK TALE SKIT Narrator:

America's history is full of colorful characters. I'm sure you've heard of many that you couldn't even begin to count them. But we also know that much of our country's history wasn't written down until many years had passed. Memories fade as time goes by. Now...we're not calling our historians liars...but...things were not always the way they told us. Take, for instance, the burro express rider.

Rider:

(enters pulling the burro) "Come on Speedy, those Cub Scouts at Southside are waiting for their mail.

Narrator:

"Excuse me sir? Why do you call your burro Speedy?

Rider:

Why, this here is the fastest burro in the west.

Narrator:

"How fast is he?"

Rider:

"Why, he's so fast he can dance his shoes off! (Burro dances, and removes his shoes and tosses them into the crowd and they leave.)

Narrator:

And there's always the legend of Rip Van Winkle. It's really quite unlikely that he could sleep for forty whole years.

Rip Van W.:

(entering) Sleep? Did I hear someone mention sleep. Oh, I'd love to get some sleep!

Narrator:

Have a hard day Rip?

Rip Van W.:

Day, day he says! Days is more like it. Ever since those Cub Scouts came to town, I haven't slept a wink. Their Den Leaders keep knocking things over and tripping over things. And you should hear them laugh.

Narrator:

Poor Rip, I guess he could use forty years sleep now.

Chef:

(entering eating an ice cream cone, and looking over and under and around things, saying...."Nope, not here, etc. and "I know it's around here somewhere." Continuing to look.)

Narrator:

Boy that ice cream looks good. Where can I get some?

Chef:

Down the road at Custard's Last Stand.

Narrator:

What are you looking for?

Chef:

A mine.

Narrator:

You mean the Lost Dutchman Mine?

Chef:

No the lost Italian Mine of course. I hear they have the greatest pizza.

Narrator:

There was a guy over there who was talking about pizza earlier. I think his name was Wild Bill..... (hiccup) Wild Bill........(hiccup)....

Chef:

Yeah, I know him, Wild Bill Hiccup - Hiccup...(leave the room)

FRONTIER LIFE A narrator tells a story of the harsh frontier life out on the prairie. Scouts perform various actions cued by the narrator, including a large group to act as a thundering herd of buffalo, and three act as ―volunteers.‖ The narrator begins by asking for three volunteers from the audience (pre-selected and cued). They are asked to come forward and lay down on their stomachs next to each other. The narrator then says, ―Now to begin. Frontier life out on the prairie was very harsh. First, the wind swept across the prairie‖ (a scout comes out with a broom and sweeps the backs of the three volunteers while making wind noises). The narrator continues with ―The sun beat down‖ (another scout shines a flashlight on the heads and backs of the volunteers). ―And the rain came down‖ (another scout sprinkles water on them). The narrator continues with the story, explaining how difficult it was to plant crops and build homes, etc, with each of the element actions being repeated in turn. Finally, the narrator explains, ―Worse than the wind, sun and rain was the constant fear of a buffalo stampede.‖ (On that cue, a large group of scouts charges across the stage toward the volunteers, who get up and run off stage in fear.)

MOUNTAIN MAN BREAKFAST (Serves 6 to 8) We ran into this at the Mountain Man Camp at Philmont a camp celebrating Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, Joe Walker, etc. The camp crew all had red beards, and they all threw knives and shot muzzle-loader guns. This recipe is memorable because it calls for sliced bread - which these guys sliced by nailing the bread against a tree and then slicing it from 50 feet with knives and hatchets. INGREDIENTS: • 3 TB's margarine or cooking oil • 12 slices bread, crusts removed [not that wimpy white bread that's mostly air] • 9 eggs, beaten • 3 - 4 lbs. small sausages, pre-cooked • 1 16-oz package grated sharp cheddar cheese • Salt and pepper • 1 4 lb. bag "instant" charcoal briquettes DIRECTIONS: Fire up the briquettes. Grease the oven, bottom and sides, with margarine or cooking oil. Break bread in small pieces and place in bottom of oven. Pour beaten eggs over bread. Place shredded cheese and sausage over mixture [not stirring in]. Ready to cook. Place over 5 hot coals, and about 20 on top. Cook for about 30 minutes. But check in about 15 minutes to be sure there is no burning. If the bread is burning remove the underneath coals. Done when cheese is bubbling and eggs are cooked. Salt and pepper to taste. HINT: Want to zest it up a bit? Mix a small 4-oz can of mild chili peppers - well drained - in with the beating eggs. And/or, dump in 4 oz of fresh mushrooms, sliced. And, have some mild salsa on hand to put on top, for those who wish [Or maybe just plain catsup]. Peach Cobbler “Green Bar Bill” 2 no. 2 cans sliced peaches 2 cups biscuit mix ½ cup sugar ½ tsp. cinnamon Preheat Dutch oven slightly over hot coals. Put a baking pan in the top and pure in peaches. Reserve some of the juice so that the cobbler won’t be mushy. Following the instructions for the biscuit mix, combine biscuit mix with water or milk. Pour the dough on top of the peaches and sprinkle with sugar. Put the lid on the oven and place coals on top. Bake until crust is golden brown. Serves 10.

Place several pieces of Margarine on top of the mix. 4. Sprinkle cinnamon over the mixture. 5. Cook approximately 45 minutes. Use 10 briquettes on the bottom of the oven and 10-12 briquettes on top of the oven. PINEAPPLE-APPLE PUDDING COBBLER CAKE Dutch oven Heavy duty foil No stick spray (or shortening) White cake mix (cheap) Yellow cake mix (cheap) Canned apple pie filling Small can of crushed pineapple Small can of pineapple rings Maraschino cherries Can of Sprite, 7 Up, Mountain Dew or ???????? Butter Brown Sugar Cinnamon Line Dutch oven with foil. Spray no stick cooking spray on foil (or use shortening). Dump white cake mike in bottom of Dutch oven and add half can of the soda. Stir just a little and then add the 4 pats of butter, crushed pineapple (and juice), the apple pie filling, brown sugar (how much? - how much do you like brown sugar?) and sprinkle generously with cinnamon. Add one half of the yellow cake mix and then place 3 or 4 pineapple rings and cherries on top of the mixture and pour in about half of the juice from the pineapple. Dump in the rest of the yellow cake mix, pour in the rest of the soda. Top with more brown sugar and cinnamon. Bake 30 to 45 minutes with 12 coals underneath and 18 coals on top. TACO SOUP 1 ½ pounds ground beef 1 medium white onion, chopped 1 package Taco seasoning 1 package Ranch Dressing mix 6

1 16 ounce can stewed tomatoes 1 can Rotel diced chilies and onions 1 can pinto beans 1 can red beans 1 can kidney beans 1 can corn ½ cup water Brown ground beef and drain grease. Add rest of ingredients and heat 30 minutes to 3 hours. Top with shredded cheese, sour cream, Fritos/Doritos, Jalopenos, Black Olives, etc.

TIN-CAN ICE CREAM Another great use for a tin can in camping is making ice cream. You only need two cans (with tight fitting lids) and your hands---or feet! Ingredients: ¾ cup milk 1 cup whipping cream 1/3 cup sugar Nuts, fruit, or flavoring as desired. (Serves two to four Scouts) Put all the ingredients into a one pound coffee can. Close the can securely and place inside a No. 10 (three pound) can. Pack crushed ice around the small can until it fills the larger can. Pour at least ¾ cup of rock salt evenly over the ice, then close the larger can securely. (Duct tape will help.) Roll the can back and forth over a hard surface for 10 minutes. Scouts can also accomplish this by playing a mild version of kick the can, just as long as they don’t pop the can’s lid off. Open the cans, being careful not to get salt, ice, or water into the ice cream mix. The mixture will be frozen around the edges. Scrape it off the sides with a table knife and mix it with the portion that is still liquid. If it’s sufficiently frozen, dig in! If not, close up the small can, add more salt and ice, reseal the larger can, and roll it back and forth for another five minutes or so. Test, and try again, until it’s ready. VAGABOND STOVE 3-lb. coffee can (or one gallon can) Can/bottle opener Tin snips File Pliers At closed end of can, use triangular type can opener (church key) and make 6-8 evenly spaced holes around the rim (on the side of the can, not the end). At the open end of the can, use the tin snips and cut a door approximate 3 inches wide and 4 inches high. Use pliers and heavy gloves to fold the door back against the can side. Use the file to smooth and blunt the door edges. CAUTION - the door cutting and bending should be done by an adult. The cut edges of the can are extremely sharp and can cause severe cuts. 7

BUDDY BURNER Cat food or tuna can Corrugated cardboard Paraffin or candle wax Wooden match Take empty can, wash and remove label. Cut cardboard into strips as wide as the can is deep (About 1 inch). Roll cardboard strips until they fill the can. Melt paraffin or candle wax and pour over cardboard until can is full. Insert wooden match into center of can with head sticking up for use as a wick. Each buddy burner will burn 1-2 hours. CAUTION: Candle wax or paraffin is very flammable. Melt by putting paraffin in can and heat by placing in boiling water. You can keep water boiling on stove and melt wax by pouring hot water into 3lb coffee can and placing 1 lb. coffee can with paraffin down into hot water.

Brown Bears In the Orchard 2 tbs. Margarine or cooking oil 2 25 ox jars applesauce 1 box Dromedary gingerbread mix 2 cups water 1 tub whipped cream 1 4 LB bag charcoal briquettes Start the briquettes Grease the Dutch oven, bottom and sides. Set the oven on about 10 hot coals. Pour applesauce into the oven. Cover and place over the coals until the applesauce is bubbly. Meanwhile, mix gingerbread and water. Remove oven from coals. Top applesauce with gingerbread, spread evenly. Do not stir in with applesauce. Place lid on the oven. Reduce the underneath coals to five. Place the oven over the five, and add about 20 to the lid. Bake about 40 minutes, or until a clean knife comes out smooth when you insert it in the gingerbread. You want to remove the oven from the bottom briquettes after about 25 minutes. Cut into pieces and serve with whipped cream
