On this camping trip we did not have to bring any ice. Forty-two patrols competed. Troop 127 had the smallest patrol of all with 3 members: Thom, the patrol leader, Tim and Jack. They could have won for best team spirit if there was a competition for that category! The Cheetah patrol did, however, win first place for the best patrol flag!
There was no shortage of food. The menu featured eggs, pancakes, toast, hot chocolate, Chinese noodles, hot dogs, sausages, rice, beans, hot sauce and of course Ian’s hot chocolate. No one went hungry! We learned fire building, patrol cooking, cold weather survival and knots.
