One of the things scouts enjoy about camping is the independence of cooking their own food. Some scouts will want to cook the easiest, quickest things possible, but others like to cook “real” food.
This is a pretty heavy breakfast, but if the scouts have a full morning of activities ahead of them they usually appreciate a big meal in the morning. An it is simple enough that they can do it themselves without any interference from adults.
