Quartermasters

The job of the Quartermaster (QM) is to store (in a garage - not out in the weather) and take care of Troop equipment, mainly patrol boxes (which are each accompanied by a propane tank). For storing such, the Scout receives a QM patch. The patrol box and accompanying propane tank must be stored out of the rain, preferably in the garage.

Each time the patrol box is used on a campout, the Cook checks it out from the QM. When it is returned to the QM, the QM and the Cook go through it together to make sure everything is put back clean and in good condition. Each time the QM does this (limited to once a month), he gets credit for one month of service in a position of responsibility for advancement.

Each QM also makes sure that each patrol box contains:

• 2 rolls of paper towels
• 1 new backup (small) propane can
• 1 roll of aluminum foil (at least half remaining)
• 1 small bottle of dish soap (at least half full)
• at least 5 large trash bags
• 1 new roll of TP
