My wife had spotted a recipe that she thought would be great for me to cook. I was reading "Scouting" magazine and low and behold, I came across a recipe for pizza in a Dutch oven. Now I had two recipes that I wanted to save. After typing them up on the computer, I decided to kill some time and surf the Internet. I did a search on Dutch ovens and the result is several months of work and this book.

This book is a collection of recipes and ideas from that search plus additions from various other scouting resources (like Pow Wow books and Scout basic training handouts). I have done my best to ensure that permission for using this material was obtained. I do not consider myself the author of this book. I have just assembled the talents of many people into a collection of recipes for ease of use.

Some of the material contained within has restrictions attached by the original authors. The below list contains two major sources for the material in my book and their usage statements.
