What should my Patrol eat at State Rally?

The Bushwalking NSW website (www.bushwalkingnsw.org.au) has excellent information on food and what you could take.

It is suggested your Patrol cooks and eats together.  Here are some suggestions below.

Breakfast

• Breakfast cereal, whatever you like, place a serving in a snap lock bag. You can either have long life milk or powdered; you can use the bag as a bowl. Put powdered milk in a separate bag and work out before you go how much water you will need to add (using your own cup). OR some instant porridge, you can get it in sachets (use 2) and add some brown sugar. Fruit and nut bar.

Lunch

• A sandwich from home. Nothing soggy like tomatoes. Add a piece of fruit and a drink.
• Vita wheat biscuits, take some vegemite and cheese to put on them. Have a fruit and nut bar as well and some celery sticks. OR try making sandwiches using English muffins, they will last a while.
