SOURDOUGH SAM
COOKING WITH FIRE
MARCH 20-22, 2026

D-BAR-A SCOUT RANCH

In the Paul Bunyan tradition, Sourdough Sam was the logging camp cook! Sourdough Sam can really make a good bowl of soup! Sourdough Sam fed Paul's logging crews. He made everything except coffee from sourdough. A load of pork and beans with the ox team pulling it went through the ice on a nearby lake. Sam had large fires built along the shore and boiled the lake making bean soup. All winter he fed the men bean soup with an ox-tail flavor.

We have warm cabins to sleep in, all cooking will be done by patrols in the outdoors. Games and activities include No Stoves Allowed - Cooking Contests and Demonstrations. Help your patrol be named to the Sourdough Sam Hall of Fame
