08/28/2021 Cast Iron Chef – Old Mission Park

Cast Iron Chef is one of the Webelos’ requirements. We did fire safety training as well.

The essence of cast iron cooking on a dutch oven, is to heat from the top. The heavy cast iron lid provides excellent heat conductivity.

Cub participating the cooking activity is crucial. We want to make sure the cubs have the opportunity to participate and drive certain segment of the activity.

Problem solving is the key part for boosting cub’s confidence.



Part of Webelos’s cast iron chef requirement -> cooking without pot 🙂 It comes together nicely.

It is hard to beat the food they cooked from their own.


Safety. We want to make sure the cubs are aware of the sizzling hot dutch oven.

Avoid paper/plastic utensils, we encourage cubs to bring their own utensils for conservation.

The chili came out nice. A bit red pepper and cheese made it even better!

No trace left behind. Everybody helped!
