Cooking Duties: Parents are responsible for working with your Scouts to prepare and cook the meals they are assigned to. This includes arriving ahead of time to pull out all ingredients, cook the meals, put out all serving items, and serve the meals. All parents need to plan on being there — this is not something the Pack or Den leadership is responsible for.
Clean-up Duties: Dens on cleanup should be the first ones to eat their meal. As part of the clean-up duties, Parents should ensure a large pot / several pots of water are on the stove before beginning to eat, so that warm water is available for clean-up. Dens are cleanup are responsible for setting up the bins for both individuals to wash their mess kit, washing all Pack utensils, pots, grills, etc used in cooking, and cleaning the tables and ensuring everything is put away. All parents need to plan on being there –– this is not something the Pack or Den leadership is responsible for.
Cleanup stations are using the Three-Bin Dishwashing. The best way to wash dishes while camping is by following the same method restaurants use. But, rather than using three sinks, camper use three wash bins. The Bin 1 contains hot, soapy water, Bin 2 is filled with clean, hot rinse water, and Bin 3 contains cold water with a sanitizer such as bleach to kill bacteria.
Before washing, make sure you use a rubber spatula to scrape excess food into a trash bag. Immerse and wash each dish in the first bin, rinse in the second bin, sanitize with a dip in the third bin, then leave dishes to air dry. A rack or mesh hang bag works well. Save pots for the end as they are often the dirtiest, and washing the other dishes first provides better water quality. If the water gets too dirty, simply change the water and continue washing.
