Son's first campout as a Boy Scout

[SR540Beaver]

I'm impressed that they could even row a canoe or keep from exceeding the weight limit and sinking it after a breakfast like that! I'm surprised they were not rolling on the ground holding their stomachs.

We ask each patrol to 'Be prepared' for conditions that they do not expect and they usually have supplies to meet their needs.

 

However, we also tell each patrol that when they serve meals that they serve the food according to rank. The lowest rank first (assuming that the scout is awake) and on up with the PL and cook eating last. If the scout is not awake and misses a meal it is the PL that is required to come up with a solution. Usually not a tough one but it is their responsibility to make sure each scout is fed. And the responsibiltiy of the PL to let the SPL know if the PL cannot make sure the scout is fed. And on up the line.

 

On the times that the troop eats together the rule still applies with the adults eating last in the same order that the scouts follow. (the older scouts and scouters should have learned to have a reserve food supply put back just in case)

 

Took only one time when the older scouts went a bit hungry and the adult scouters went a bit more hungry to teach the lesson of proper planning.
