These are not your everyday patrol box. First they are aluminum which makes them lighter and more durable than wood. After years of camping experience by many in the troop, we designed and had someone fabricate these quality aluminum patrol boxes. A couple of things that constantly bothered me about typical wooden patrol boxes were, first they were heavy and second you really couldn't put a LP tank and stove in them. For the same outside dimensions we have accomplished everything, in a lighter and more durable box. This is the complete and ultimate patrol box.

We have listed the main features. A detailed inventory can be seen below along with a way to order one of these first class boxes. We have ceased selling plans for these patrol boxes.

  • Aluminum construction - won't rust, rot, splinter, or fall apart
  • Very strong - will easily support 300 lbs standing on it (we've tried)
  • Very light - the box empty weighs in at just over 40 lbs - half the weight of one with plywood
  • Holds 5 lb LP tank and camp stove
  • Everything stored in Rubbermaid containers - keeps things clean and organized
    • Bread boxes for paper towels; foil, zip-loc bags, garbage bags; utensils
  • Two spring-loaded recessed handles on each side for easier carrying by younger scouts
  • Baked on powder coat finish - as strong as the aluminum it's covering

This has had many hours of thought and engineering put in it. After we had several troops want the drawings, we filed for a patent. Below is some basic drawings of the boxes. review the pictures, drawings and plans before and let us know if you would like to order, see below.
