Pioneering

 

 

1. Signal a number of single letters by semaphore and Patrols have to write down the letters and form into a message
2. Make an aerial runway
3. The only way to learn pioneering is by building projects big and small. Consult the Ropework Skills handbook for ideas for projects.
4. Make bridges from staves
5. Each Patrol is given a different mini – pioneering project to do. The list might include - An automatic fire extinguisher, raft building, a chair for the Scout Leader, a free-standing camp gateway.
6. Each Patrol create a ‘Chariot’ in the form of a trestle frame using light spars, When ‘chariot’ is complete ‘reins’ are attached and a Scout climbs on board. Two Scouts pull the ‘chariot’ around a set course. Run a race among the Patrols.
