Thanks

Look for a "minumum essential" design - just big enough to carry the essentials. We have patrol chuck boxes, but in my opinion they are bigger than they need to be, and the patrols struggle to carry them from trailer to campsite. When my son was in Cub Scouts, we had an even bigger one for the entire Pack stored in the Church basement. My back still remembers that one - it has to be brought up via a narrow stairway. I can't remember the last time it was used. The "essentials" should be patrol cook kit, stove, a first-aid kit, and a little bit of (non-perishable) food.

Our patrol boxes are garbage cans that were donated from a local service and they fold out and have 3 tables, store our 20lbs propane camp stove and all of our pots and pans. Also the best thing they are on wheels. THIS IS HOW I ROLL! THIS IS HOW I ROLL! JK

We have three of them and fit in our trailer perfectly. We copied it from another troop. :)

we just have a red kitchen bag for each patrol, otherwise we share stuff. We also have patrol stoves
