My nephews troop do somethingike this but they have the ingredients broken into groups, proteins, coatings, veg and so on and the teams draw one from each hat and then have to cook using those ingrediants.
This lead to my brothers discovery thst diced chicken breast coated in crushed cornflakes make quite nice nuggets....

they probably dont need the gas ring or tin foil.
one frying pan ,one pan or suitable sized billy (if there are pots/bake trays that will go in the oven)
how long have they got?if 20 mins like rsc they will have to start by heating the pots before they do anything else and it still might be a bit tight to boil water on ring or trangia and then put rice or pasta to cook in the oven etc etc and chances are they will miss the deadline,pastry would be almost raw etc etc
with those sort of ingredients i would recon about 45 mins would be a decent time for prep and cook unless they can bring their stuff pre prepped and even then 30 mins would be a bit tight unless they have access to boiling water.
with an hour they can get any long time stuff going while they prep the short order stuff.
if 20 mins it might need some adjustments to the stores and stuff they must choose from.
perhaps combine the two lists and give them a choice of 8 so as they have to(can) use maybe one or two items in both courses
