Dec 29, 2004 · 1. As the Scoutmaster of a large troop with 43 Scouts, we haul our 7 wooden patrol boxes in a troop equipment trailer. Yes, they are heavy, but they contain all the cooking gear for each campout. Each patrol hauls their food in separate coolers that the Patrol Quartermaster owns. For "base camping," the patrol boxes work well. 2.
