Need your ideas for a vegetarian menu for troop outings

Need your ideas for a vegetarian menu for troop outings
Jay Johnson, the Scoutmaster for Troop 2942 (copied here), has noticed that his troop now has many more vegetarian scouts. He's looking for some advice on creating a tasty and nutritious vegetarian menu for their outings, with recipes that the scouts can easily cook themselves.

We thought it would be a wonderful idea to put together a Scouting vegetarian cookbook that everyone can use! If you have any favorite vegetarian recipes or tips that have worked well for your troop, please share them with

Your input would be incredibly valuable in helping us create a resource that all our scouts can enjoy. Thank you so much for your help and support with this project!

Looking forward to all your delicious ideas,  let's Create a Vegetarian Cookbook for Our Scouts!
