1                    You should be able to declare your patrol fit for inspection at colours. Make sure if you declare fit that you are, as you may be inspected straight away.

2                    Do not walk on groundsheets with shoes on

3                    Slacken guylines at night and when raining (NOT MAIN GUYS)

4                    If the weather is dry in the morning, air your beds on their groundsheets, before rolling up.

5                    After supper in the evening unroll your tent sides and hook on your brailings. Lay out your groundsheets but leave the rest of your bedding rolled up to stop it getting damp. Make sure the floor of your tent is covered and the sod cloth. But do not have groundsheets up the walls.

6                    Make as many gadgets as possible to help yourselves.

7                    Do not let anything touch your tent. If you accidentally touch your tent when it is raining, run your finger down to the top of the wall. DO NOT hang anything from the guylines or the ridge of your tent.

8                    IF you don’t understand something ASK!!

                 9   Only use wooden spoons or plastic spatulas on non-stick surfaces. Do not use scourers or brillos on them.

10                Remember to put your washing up water on  as soon as you have dished up, BEFORE YOU START TO EAT. Use very hot water for washing up, you have been issued with washing up gloves (pink or yellow) wear them.

11                Put water in all pans used before sitting down to eat.

12                If you have burnt food onto the pan, put on the cooker, add a little fairy and fill with water, bring to the boil and simmer. Again do this before you eat.

13                Keep milk in a bowl of cold water, covered by a wet cloth and in the shade. Your butter should get the same treatment if it is a plastic tub.

14                Keep your boxes clean and closed at all times, to prevent animal and insect infestation.

15                To get a replacement box of matches you will have to produce the old box. Also keep your matches in the tin.

16                Dispose of your rubbish bag while it is still easy to tie up and carry, or at least once a day.

17                Make sure you clear up all spilt food.

18                All washing up water and liquid food must be tipped down your grease trap. Your grease trap foliage must be changed every day, the old stuff will need to be put in your rubbish bag or burnt.

19                Remember to put your dishcloth and scourer into diluted bleach every night.

20                Keep everywhere as clean as possible

21                Your thunderbox needs emptying when it is between ½ and 2/3 full. This will not necessarily be every day for the boys. Use blue gloves and plastic aprons for cleaning out thunderboxes. Empty contents down the pit. Clean with disinfectant and water. Add one container of blue to your clean thunderbox and at least one gallon of water – boys, half a gallon - girls.
