Plan…Trek Cart

Borrowing Equipment You will need some general woodwork equipment for this project. See if patrol members can borrow some of these items from home, with the permission of the owners! Make out a list and assign items to everyone. Finding suitable qualified and experienced people help Due to nature of the work, using power tools and cutting and fixing wood, you should have an experienced and qualified person or people involved. This could be a Scouter or a parent or someone you know, discuss this with your Scouters they will know what to do if you are bringing outside help. Timelines You will need to make out a detailed schedule for this project, from planning to purchasing and building.

A patrol trek cart allows you to transport equipment easily and safely when on camps and jamborees. It is especially useful for carrying heavy items or for moving things over a long distance.

At the end of this resource are suggested designs for trek carts (if you are printing them go with A3 for best results), and others are available online. Your patrol should consult these designs and make a plan for building your patrol trek cart. The activity leaders should work with your Scouters in planning. You will need to consider: Getting the materials A detailed list of materials is provided, much of which may need to be bought unless you can get a local suppliers to donate it. You will need to work out the costs and make a plan with your Scouters about raising the money or asking the Troop or Group for some. The PLs on the Group Council can help you with this.
