There is one thing that tends to bring everyone together... Food! You will find that your fellow patrol members are your brothers. You will create amazing bonds with the members of your patrol and troop. Some of my fondest memories of camping are those of cooking...sitting around the campfire after a full day of hiking and canoeing with a big bowl of blackberry cobbler telling campfire stories under the stars. Those memories will stay with me forever.

As you live the Scout Law, you are able to be Helpful and Clean in the kitchen when it comes to food prep, cooking, and clean up.

There will be a great camaraderie within your troop and patrols when all members do their duty and part when it comes time to participate with meals and the cleanup of the meals... plus the Scoutmaster will thank you for doing your part in keeping animals out of camp!

Note: If you do see a lone scout eating... sit down next to him with your meal and start a conversation.  We all want to feel included.
