Lazy Peach Cobbler

In October 2019, Daylen’s Webelos den went camping at Mammoth Cave National Park. We found this recipe for a quick and easy Dutch Oven cobbler.

As it would turn out, this was Daylen’s last camping trip as a Cub Scout. COVID cancelled the annual Pack Spring camp out (“Pack Camp”). As Webelos, parents were not required to camp with their scouts. As Sam’s parents were not able to attend, Daylen and Sam shared a tent and got a glimpse of what Scouts BSA would bring.
