troop_360 Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 Hello everyone, I have recently rejoined scouts as a leader. When I was a youth in scouting i remeber when my council went to the national jamboree we had some realy great chuck boxes to keep the cooking equipment in. The troop that i have rejoined with have older worn down boxes that need to be replaced with better idease for storeage. I was wondering if anyone on this board might know a place were i might find some plans or ideas for some. thanks jeff troop_360 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venturer2002 Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 I'm no carpentry genius, but in my Technology class at school we made a swivel ottoman with no plans,guides,etc. We had one original ottoman that we reverse-engineered and made plans from. Maybe, if one of the old boxes is still around, you could try that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScoutNut Posted August 11, 2002 Share Posted August 11, 2002 Here are a few sites that might be helpful: http://www.netwoods.com/document2/patrol%20bx.htm http://comp.uark.edu/~rohughes/142box.html This is a retail site but it has a lot of ideas you might be able to incorporate: http://www.blueskykitchen.com/ Personally I use those big rubbermaid (or similar) boxes. They hold everything and are a lot lighter .(This message has been edited by ScoutNut) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
red feather Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Chuck or patrol boxes come in many designs and sizes. I like the ones that the boys can carry and setup. Take a look in the Campmor catalog, there is a patrol box there and under magnification you can get a very good idea of how it is put together. I am building one for myself based on that picture. Might also try web search for chuck boxes or a variation of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Abraiu Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Jeff troop_360 Try this one it's really good. Adjustments can be made. It's on excel, I like it because it is usable so the boys can carry it. You don't have to be Charles Atlas & the state of Alaska to move it around. Good luck Abraiu http://www.troop168.net/forms/patrolboxC.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
james_clegg Posted August 30, 2002 Share Posted August 30, 2002 Dont forget to ad a dolly or hand truck to your troops stuff. I have found that moving the Box from place to place is a lot easier with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiny1pj Posted August 31, 2002 Share Posted August 31, 2002 Scoutnut's last comment is right on the money. I have used both, and the plastic boxes were much easier, unless at a long term camp. I did the design on the patrol box that my troop will be using. First decide what you want to take, and then it is fairly easy to make. I personally like the two-sided box for allowing two boys to be doing something at the same time. The idea of a dolly or adding wheels is a great one.
