Next Weeks Meeting

Next Week we will meet at our Regular time- 7:30 PM at the Knights Hall.
The focus is on the upcoming camp out, in particular planning your meals.

We will backpacking as Patrols and eating in small groups.
Here are some tips:

1. Plan for what you like. Plan for foods that you are willing to eat.
2. Plan for how much trash you can reduce. Repackage food items, and leave the garbage at home.
3. Plan for how you are going to prepare the meals. Cold meals are ok, but evening meals and early morning meals should be warm to either jump start you, or get you ready for a cool night.
4. Plan for the gear you are carrying. What type of stove are you using? You need to factor your fuel into your meal plan.
5. Plan for your portions. How much are you going to eat? How much do you want to carry?

Use these little tips for meal planning. Try new things, explore your skill sets.

Have a Great Scouting Day!
