1st class cooking

[SMBURNS]

Is serving as your patrol cook and supervising a Leadership Position and therefore subjective to: is the cook being a leader during the meals. Or is this a skill activity same as knot tying?

1st Class requirement 4e, "serve as your patrol's cook", includes "supervise your assistants". That involves a certain amount of leadership. Your question isn't clear.

Serving as patrol cook and supervising does not translate into a leadership position IMHO. A leadership position and serving in a Scoutmaster appointed leadership project require require more than just a meal or a weekend of meals to complete.

In our patrol cooking model, we use a "head cook" and "cook(s)". The number of cooks is usually 1 or 2, depending upon how big the meal is. The head cook is responsible for making sure he knows the menu, the recipe, getting the cooks organized, cooking the meal, telling the members of his patrol what they're having and leading grace. (They sometimes get a little help from an older scout or an adult.) But we require them to fulfill this role in order to complete the First Class requirement.
