• Bonus points for hitting 20% exactly
• Participants carry and hike with all their gear daily (tents excluded)

Saturday Night Patrol Cook‑Offs
On Saturday night, each patrol will plan a menu and cook their own meal.
Patrol members are responsible for preparing, cooking, and serving their dinner as a team — no leader assistance.

• Presentation and patrol hospitality

Think cowboy cuisine, frontier feasts, and chuckwagon pride.
Leaders are welcome to join you — show off your skills and spirit!
