My name is Christine Conners. My husband, Tim, and I are the authors of Lipsmackin' Backpackin' and Lipsmackin' Vegetarian Backpackin', both of which are best-selling cookbooks in the backpacking genre. Tim and I were recently given the honor of judging Scouting Magazine's camp food favorites contest.

We are contacting you because we recently signed a contract with Globe Pequot Press to write a scout cookbook. Our goal is to create a comprehensive collection of recipes, cooking techniques, tips and ideas from Scouts and leaders from all over the world. Instead of filing away in a dark corner the hundreds of recipes submitted to this year's contest by folks such as you, Scouting Magazine graciously provided copies to us so that we might consider them for inclusion in our book.

We are requesting your permission to test and possibly publish your recipe. Once published, your name would be listed in the book as a contributor. Not only would you have the satisfaction of seeing your recipe in print, you would be assured that you are introducing others to the unique and delicious world of scout cooking. Although we would not be able to financially compensate you for your recipe, a percentage of royalties generated by the book will be donated on behalf of all of the contributors to the Boy Scouts of America for as long as the cookbook remains in print.

We hope you'll consider joining us in this exciting project! If you would like us to consider your recipe for inclusion, please add your name and contact info to the permission form below and e-mail it to us at scoutrecipes@bellsouth.net at your earliest convenience. We will need to be able to contact you in the future in case we have any questions regarding you recipe (and, don't worry... we will NOT share your contact information with anyone other than the publisher!)

Thanks so much for your help with this project. We look forward to hearing from you!

Christine Conners

I acknowledge that I will receive no monetary payment from the authors or publisher, but I will be credited in the book as the author of the recipe.
