Current Entry: Bread Baking
A Winter Camp cooking tradition since the marathon nighttime baking session on Day One of Winter Camp I, this custom sets the Winter Camp food service operation apart from any other Scouting kitchen. The quality of baked goods has varied widely over the years-the "Cave Loaf" incident at Winter Camp II is still regarded as a notable low in camp cooking-but the tradition is now deeply rooted at Winter Camp and will likely survive as long as Winter Camp is held. The marathon baking session returned to Winter Camp XXII as part of Classics Day and has continued, frequently though not always on the first night, through Winter Camp XLII.
At Winter Camp XLII, the rising of the dough was greatly facilitated by the use of a proofing box constructed by Alan and Doug Wilson.
