Stopple and Upton Mess Kits

This month the Stopple and Upton Mess Kits were featured in the International Scout Collector’s Association Journal. We are lucky to have the Upton Machine Company version of the Kamp Kook Kit that was produced on display in our Museum! Please check out some more information below!

This is an Upton Machine Company Mess Kit that we have here on display at the World Scouting Museum, if you found this page by scanning a QR Code please scroll down for more information about the Upton Mess Kit to find a podcast episode by Steve Scout and Daisy Doll and a Youtube video that shows you how the Upton Mess Kit works and how it is taken apart and neatly put back together.

Check out this podcast we created with the help of Google’s NotebookLM. It features our newest AI Podcast Hosts Steve Scout and Daisy! They have a wealth of information from multiple sources to share with you about this and many other Scouting topics. (Please note that this technology is very new and errors can happen. Please alert us if you know info to be untrue or misrepresented so that we can pull it and see if we can make corrections.) We thought this might be a fun new way to present information about topics in the Museum! We hope you enjoy it!

World Scouting Museum’s Youtube Channel

Here you can check out a Youtube video that we produced down below. It will show you how the Mess kits operated and were used by the earliest Boy Scouts! Until we can get our video completed we did want to highlight a very well done video by a Scout that we enjoyed watching. Check it out at the link below!
