COOLERS MUST BE AT THE ROAD DIRECTLY AFTER MEALS SO THEY CAN BE PICKED UP AND REPACKED. IF A COOLER IS MISSING AFTER A MEAL, WE WILL NOT HAVE THE COOLER READY FOR THE NEXT MEAL. IN OTHER WORDS, WE WILL ONLY PACK THE NEXT MEAL FOR THE NUMBER OF COOLERS WE PICK UP FROM THE SITE. TRASH AND RECYCLING A trash bag will be supplied in each morning s breakfast delivery. Additional trash bags can be obtained at the Trading Post as needed. asks that you separate aluminum cans, glass, plastic bottles and cardboard, from the regular trash. There is a can at every campsite strictly for recycling these cans and bottles. Dry cardboard should be placed by your trash each night for pickup. We thank you in advance for your cooperation. Help decrease our impact on the environment! DISH WATER DISPOSAL When you are finished washing dishes, do this: 1. Empty dishwater and rinse water down your latrine stool. PLEASE DO NOT dig a sump hole, our soil does not percolate and will make a mess for future weeks. 2. Empty the sanitized (NO FOOD PIECES, they will get stuck in the strainer) rinse water down your urinal. HELPFUL INFORMATION Need More or Less Food? - If you find that you are in need of more or less portions for a specific patrol please have your Scoutmaster let our Food Packer know so they can make adjustments. Personal Table Service- Each Scout and Leader should provide his/her own plate, cup, bowl, knife, fork and spoon. In the interest of the environment, we encourage your troop to use washable table service as opposed to using disposable paper and plastic table service.
TABLE MANNERS AND GRACE Mealtime is the time for Scouts to be on their best behavior. It should be a time of relaxation, good manners and pleasant conversation. Please and Thank You should be the order of the day. We suggest that this is an opportunity to teach Scouts how to set a table properly. A neat appearing dining table can help make the meal taste better. We also suggest that your patrols pause before each meal and give thanks. FRONTIER GRACE For gifts of food and freedom And the woods which in we roam. For the beautiful crimson sunsets, And the camp, that is our home. For the starry skies at night, And the gentle wind in the trees, We Thank you, Great Spirit, for giving us all of these.
