Merit Badges on the Go

G and NS are both working on merit badges as we go through this year of camping. NS has been picking up the pace on his cooking merit badge of late. Going through diseases, how to handle food, etc... One of the requirements is to meal plan for backpacking/hiking trips, cooking on a lightweight stove. There's a similar requirement in the camping merit badge, which is the one G is focused on right now. Bill packed up the kids and took a hike the other day through the cedar-laden park in Kerrville (I sat that one out), and the sterno cans went with them, along with their soups.

Food on the Go

I can't swear to it, but that doesn't look like enjoyment to me. But they ate a lunch, complete with water, soup, and crackers. And after this hike, NS worked with Bill and the internet to do the MyPlate requirements. Yeah!!!!
