Every campout our duty roster falls apart by Saturday lunch. How do your patrols split cooking, cleanup, water and fire duties so the older Scouts lead and the new ones learn?
Our troop is planning its first overnight below freezing in January. Most Scouts are 11-12. What did you do for sleep systems, buddy checks and keeping the patrol cook stoves running? Looking for practical lessons, not a gear catalog.
