BSA Troop 31

Nashville, Tennessee

“It is far better for a scout to eat a burnt pancake that he cooked himself
than to eat one perfectly prepared by an adult.”
William W. Stifler , Troop 31 Scoutmaster, 1957-1964 and 1966-1969

“Even the burned parts taste good.”
Hicks Woolwine, Troop 31 Eagle Scout

“I felt I had accomplished a really big goal when I first saw my Tenderfoot
badge. I felt like I was king of the world, that I could do anything.”
Davis Cavallo, Troop 31 Scout

Directions:

1. Preheat oven by placing it on a bed of coals.
2. Rub flour on the roast and brown all sides in a small amount of oil in the oven.
3. Add 1/2 inch of water. (Warning: First be sure no hot oil remains -- water will make it splatter.)
