Patrol Mess Kits

[sst3rd 129]

I guess it was bound to happen. After twenty odd years, our Troop's six Patrol mess kits have lost their tops. That's right. The larger of the two frying pans in the kit, that caps off the top of the mess kit and makes it complete. Our Troop recently cleaned up our gear storeroom in hopes of finding these missing pans, but of no use.

The only way I can describe these kits, is that they are 8 - Scout heavy aluminum standard kits we use for our Troop's base camping.

 

Does anybody no of a supplier that might have these parts? Any help or ideas would be most appreciative. Even without these tops, these kits will continue to be used.

 

Thanks,,,,,,,

Who is the manufacturer? Is this the BSA standard "trail chef" kit you are talking about?

If they are standard BSA issue cook sets you can order individual pieces from National Supply to replace those that are lost. I lost the big skillet to the adult cook set a couple of years ago and, which was about 18 years old, and got a new one from National Supply.

It might be more cost efficient to just buy new mess kits. Sometimes the parts can be almost as expensive as the whole!
