By popular demand, we are bringing back the Girl Scouts of Gulfcoast Florida's Outdoor Cooking Challenge: Troop Cook-Off for another year!
Join us for this fun and flavorful event at Camp Caloosa in North Fort Myers! Teams of Girl Scouts will take over camp to cook a three-course meal using traditional camp style cooking techniques. Upon completion of the challenge, a panel of judges will taste each team's three-course meal to determine the first, second, and third place winners. The winning teams will receive a bronze, silver, or gold medal to showcase their victory!
