I hate camp cooking. If I want well-cooked food I'll stay home. If I can't cook it with boiling water in my JetBoil cup, I'm not cooking it.
I take my JetBoil, a couple Sea-To-Summit expandable bowls, a spork, some freeze dried backpacker meals, oatmeal, starbucks Via instant coffee packets, tortillas, summer sausage, and trail mix. Same menu almost every camping trip. Works for me.
Our scouts are responsible for cooking their own meals. It seems like the younger ones show up gung-ho with a big extravagent menu planned and a huge assortment of dishes. They ask their dad for help and dad smiles and says, "Go see you patrol leader about that." and goes back to his nap. The older scouts pretty much all have adopted the minimalist approach after dealing with the mess of logistics with a big menu a few times too many. We have one kid who only shows up with peanut butter and a few apples. That's literally all he eats for two days, peanut butter by the spoonful and apples.
