 Ingredients Of Balanced Diet

(1).For physical growth and overall development of our

body, maintenance of normal body function, physical
activity and health Nutritious food is required. Food we
consume should provide all the nutrients in the required
amount, the requirement varies with age, gender,
physiological status and physical activity.
(2).The nutrients required by our body have to be chosen
from a combination of a variety of different food groups.
Proteins, Carbohydrates and fats are macro nutrients
which is required in large amounts. Whereas Vitamins
and Minerals are micro nutrients which are required in
small amounts. Nutrients play a very important role in the
overall development of the body.
In order to acquire all the required nutrients, we must
make a habit of a balanced diet. This can be achieved by
cultivating the habit of taking food from four food groups.

Conventional Food Group

Cereals, millets and pulses
Vegetables and fruits
Milk and milk products, egg, meat and fish
Oils & fats and nuts & oilseeds
 Know how to buy provisions and
vegetables and draw up priced and
deictically sound menu to include
quantities required for a camp of
week’s duration for at least one
patrol of six Scouts.

Before planning for the purchasing of provision

and vegetables for the camp duration of one week,
we should plan the menu. Considering both North
Indian and South Indian dishes, we have prepared
the menu.
Note: Milk, Curd, Vegetables, and Fruits should be
purchased locally based on daily needs
accordingly.
Menu may be modified as required, considering
the fruits and vegetables availability.
 Make a proper cooking place, lay and light a fire
using Maghan Chulah, Trench fire, Altar fire etc. and
cook there five local standard dishes and two
beverages as prescribed by the examiner. In Urban
areas gas stoves and primus stoves may be used
and out of the five dishes two of these must be
cooked without utensils.

Outdoor Cooking
Rules – Part of good sportsmanship is knowing the rules
of the game and playing by them.
Outdoor
Excellence – Personal mastery, increased skill
development, as well as performing to the best of your
abilities are the hallmarks of good sportsmanship.
Teamwork – Good sportsmanship implies that the player
on a team is a team player. In other words, the player
understands that his or her behavior reflects on the
team in general.

Outdoor Cooking

Trench Fire: The heat will be reflected up by the sides

which will also provide a really solid support for your grid
and pans. This type of fire is especially good in exposed
or windy site. Try and keep one end open towards the
direction of the wind to make sure that the fire gets
enough air

Altar Fire: One of the most popular cooking fires is called

an Altar fire, which is made of a raised platform on which
the fire is lit. These can be made from wood, but quite
often metal is used, and half an old metal drum used to
hold the fire. This type of fire is ideal for long stay camps
as it helps eliminate the-need for turf removal and low-
level cooking.

Maghan Chulha: This is made of wet clay which is

shaped into a chulha and left out to dry and then
becomes strong due to the heat of the fire. It has holes
on the sides to lay firewood and one big hole at the top
Maghan Chu for the vessel placed to receive heat.
 Serve food in a proper manner
The step between cooking and eating is far from
insignificant. With sophisticated production and
preparation, the serving of food involves important role
divisions, etiquette, and cultural forms.

the serving of food is also a site of courtesy and

generosity. Domestic hospitality depends on serving
graciously, taking care of guests first, and offering
second helpings. Professional waiters commit
complicated orders to memory, return smoothly without
mix-ups, perhaps conduct elaborate serving rituals, and
note before anyone else any missing components
Know how to store provisions in a
hygienic manner.

(1).Keep high-risk food at 5 °C or below or

above 60 °C to avoid the temperature
danger zone and food poisoning.
(2).Store raw foods below cooked foods.
(3).Store food in suitable, covered
containers.
(4).Avoid refreezing thawed foods.
(5).Check and observe the use-by dates
on food products.
(6)Take special care with high-risk foods.
