I went to the walmart super center and picked up 6 large yellow plastic
tool boxes with one tray in them and they are water tight even in the
hardest rain. I labeled them; Rope Craft, Tool Craft, Compass Craft,
Kraft Craft, Fire Craft, Boom Boom. They can be taken to the field or to
a class room and on campouts they stay dry and are ready for Rainy,
stormy times. There have been several times we got all the boys in the
bus and done classes in it while it poured outside. Even on long trips
you can teach them some rope craft right out of this water tight tool
box.
Contents are what you can fit in the box. Most things will go in these
large plastic tool boxes. Some craft boxes may take 2 of these boxes.
Main thing is they are water tight and easily portable by a Royal Ranger.
They are pretty inexpensive as well under $9.00 each. Pick up a few at a
time.
