It was one of those testâ€"passing hikes, where the Scoutmaster takes only a few sandâ€" wiches and fills up later by testing and tasting the attemgts of the others at cooking. Who said a Scoutmaster‘s job was an easy one? I‘d rather go hungry than touch some of the atrocities cooked up on these hikes, looking around camp at dinner time, that is, any time from twelve until four p.m., one would find many varieties of dishes common to a Scout camp. One "concrete" example of these is the damper, something which is made of an awful lot of flour and hardly any water; which, before cooking, can be bounced against a tree without leaving behind any residue, and after cooking may be used for smashing rocks. These are used extensively throughout the prisons of ‘Canada and United States when baked in the form of a malletâ€"head.
