COOKING EQUIPMENT NEEDED FOR PATROL STYLE FEEDING
Camp Tahquitz is proud to provide Patrol Cooking (formerly known as Jamboree Style feeding). We believe it one of the most worthwhile aspects of the camping experience. As scouts prepare their own meals in their campsite using the Patrol Method, Scouts learn valuable lessons in teamwork and cooperation, as well as gain a lot of practical skills and experiences in cooking. Our food service program is designed to be flexible and efficient.
In order for your troop to get the most out of the Patrol Cooking experience with the least confusion and effort, it is important that you prepare yourself and your troop to operate with the patrol method. Be sure your patrols are well organized and provided with the leadership necessary before arriving at camp. Also make sure that one Scout is designated as Troop Quartermaster (with appropriate adult supervision) so one person can check the food deliveries to make sure that nothing is missing. Then disperse the food to your patrols. This will also make coordination with the Commissary staff easier for your troop.
Your troop and its patrols should not only be sure that they have enough camping equipment, but they also want to be sure that they have equipment to cook the menu. This is a general list and should only be used as a guide. Use your judgment in determining what your troop will need at camp.

TROOP ICE CHEST - Each troop using the Patrol Feed option must bring an ice chest to hold the day's perishable food. Please mark your ice chests with your troop number and campsite. Ice chests need to be a manageable size so that the staff will be able to pick them up. Larger troops should bring multiple ice chests to accommodate the size of the troop |
