During the troop meeting before each campout the Scouts in each patrol get together and plan their own menu, subject to the Scoutmaster's approval. The Patrol Leader is given a troop check to pay for the food and arranges to meet one or more patrol members at a local grocery store to do the patrol's shopping. The Patrol Leader has a cooler and a dry goods box for the weekend's provisions.

Scouts pride themselves in being able to provide for themselves, and do so in fine fashion. There are several cooking-related items in the scouting skills requirements leading up to First Class rank. We always try, and usually manage, to eat quite well on a weekend outing.

Please do not bring food from home so that we can ensure that there are no problems with allergies.
