These suggestions on how to conduct yourself and your patrol will go miles to help you win those extra points on "leadership" and "camp" that any patrol young or old needs to earn their Presidential Award at Camporee.

• Be Prepared
• Work as a team within your patrol
• PL and APL call the shots - don't argue
• Dress in full uniform (neckerchief is a patrol option)
• Look smart - backpacks neat with no loose cords or pots
• Have your "ten essentials" in a small bag inside the top of your pack
• Who has the first aid kit? Know the answer - you will be asked
• Patrol flag - got one?
• Patrol yell - know it?
• Handbook - take it
• Clip board - have one for the patrol paperwork at event
• HAVE FUN

Campsite Tips:

• Neatness counts big time
• Duty roster - make one and stick to it (the cook needs to cook!)
• Wash your hands B4 preparing food
• Stay out of cook area if you are not on the roster as cook
• Tents are neat with ground cloth tucked under edges of tent
• Tent interiors are NEAT, no clothes or trash left inside (you will be judged)
