Well I made it on my first troop overnight where I was in a patrol where we set up our own tent, patrol fly, patrol kitchen, patrol equipment box and the best part was patrol cooking (dinner and breakfast). Yes, our patrol even got to cook our own food. It was great. The other item that was fun was the patrol competition where each patrol had to bake a two layer cake, decorate it, start a fire and bowl water, follow a compass course and use a compass to measure a width. We had a campfire where each patrol had to perform a skit and sing a song. It was great having everyone have so much fun. When the campfire was over the leaders had prepared cobblers for everyone to eat. Then it was time for bed. It was a little cold and I found that I needed to bring an extra blanket to put in my sleeping bag. But I did sleep pretty well.

Taking down our patrol stuff was not as much fun as it was to put up. I am still looking forward to the next troop overnight.
