We also have one of the big plastic tubs from Wal Mart and it works great for the dry goods. I did get a plan for a box and built it. It is heavy but they can still carry it a little ways. I don't plan on using it much longer as we are going to start hiking soon. The troop is going slowly, but we set a gole to double the troop size this year. This will only give us 12 boys but the ones I have now have been fast learners and are going to be good teachers to the new boys. Thanks for all the help.
