Meals are served cafeteria style in the dining hall. For all meals, Troops will eat together at their pre-determined seating area in meal shifts. Troops will be assigned which shift they will have during check-in on Sunday. Troops will have the same meal shift for the entire week. Troop waiters will assist in placing tableware, drinks and condiments on the table and in cleaning the tables after those meals. Troop waiters should arrive 15 minutes before their troop’s meal shift. Flag ceremonies will be held between meal shifts, as noted in the daily schedule which can be found in the appendix. Menus are developed and approved by a professional nutritionist and prepared by experienced cooks.
