Meals and Housing Arrangements We will serve a light snack on Friday night, three meals and an evening snack on Saturday, and breakfast on Sunday morning. To better assist our kitchen staff, we request that all adults rotate kitchen duties. If anyone in your troop has special dietary requirements, please make a note on your registration form.
