I was Den Mother, back in the late 1950's and in New York City there
is little opportunity to have a cook-out or overnight trip. So, we
prepared something like this at my apartment, the meeting place for
the Den, stuck it into the hot oven where it stayed until the meeting
was almost over and then ate. The Cub Scouts loved it and we did this
once a year, from what I remember.
