In scouts we used to make peach cobbler with bisquick and peach pie filling in a dutch oven on our camp outs. At the summer camp we went to we had to cook our own food but they brought by fresh ingredients every meal. We always opted for the ice cream including freezer and ice to go with the cobbler we brought our own stuff for. It was amazing how cool we were able to keep leftovers and stuff with our evaporative fridge. Especially when we could put a little ice in the top every few days.

Our scoutmaster was a resourceful old fart. We always took his full size Dodge extended van on our camping trips. He welded another rim to the outside of each of the back wheels. When we got it stuck we could hook a rope on welded on rim and use it like a winch.

We quit going to summer camp and instead went to different national forests. The official scout camps got real uncomfortable when one of our troop members had an epileptic fit. Even though we were well trained and perfectly able to take care of him, the council asked us not to bring our handicapped members to summer camp. That was about half of our troop. Providing a handicapped friendly scout troop was what we did. In fact, we got the requirements for some of the badges changed to make it easier for the handicapped to get them (without compromising the training and accomplishments the badges represented). We even took a guy in a wheel chair on a 50 mile hike. You've never seen someone so proud of a patch. His bigger brothers played football for OU at the time and it was something they didn't have.
