One of the many challenges of cooking at camp is how do you cook for so many people, with limited kitchen space/equipment and so that everyone can enjoy their meal at the same time?
Our friends at 1st Kinosoo taught us a great trick at "The First Almost Annual Scout Challenge Camp". You can feed a lot of hungry Scouts breakfast by making Eggs in a Baggie, or Eggies - custom omelets in a bag. The trick is that you need to do a little preparation in advance.

- Place pots of water on the stove to boil.
- Have each Scout write their name on a medium freezer bag with a permanent marker.
- Into each bag, have a Scouter break 2 or 3 eggs, depending on how hungry the Scout is.
- Each Scout then adds pepper, salt and their favourite fixing.
- Carefully squeeze out as much air as possible from the freezer bag. Seal the bag and give the contents a good squish to distribute the contents evenly
- Place bags in boiling water.
- After 10 minutes, check the doneness of the eggs by testing with tongs. The eggs should be firm, and not jiggly.
Remove from heat
- Open bag carefully, watching out for steam. Eat directly from bag with a spoon. A fork will poke a hole in your bag and it gets a bit messy at that point.
