Patrol Box Kit List
The Patrol Box is a staple item in many Guide,
Pathfinder and Sr. Branch units all over the country. The box contains
everything you'll need for cooking at camp - as long as you're not planning a
wilderness trek, that is! :-)I have seen a number of different containers turned
into patrol boxes - for example large Rubbermaid tubs, plastic garbage cans, and
wooden boxes. Of these I prefer the Rubbermaid tubs. It is easiest to stack
items in a square space, and the tubs are not nearly as heavy (even when empty!) as
a wooden box of the same size. The plastic tubs also fairly waterproof.
In your patrol box you should have:
- 3 pots and lids
- frying pan
- kettle
- griddle and handle
- muffin pan
- 3 basins
- juice container and lid
- milk jug
- 2 mixing bowls
- colander
- measuring cup/spoons
- cutting board
- grater
- salt & pepper shakers
- oven mitt

I have also made up a wash kit for each patrol, which I
include in the patrol box (mostly so I won't forget it...). It is a fabric bag
that contains:
- dish soap
- SOS pads
- green scrubby thing
- Javex
- bar of Sunlight soap
- extra oven mitts
- tea towels
- J-cloths
- matches
- fire starters
