Pioneering, New group website
We used this diagram
My scout group has a great new website – so click here to check it out!
Tonight the scouts were practising their pioneering skills. We began the night by teaching the scouts how to do a “Japanese Square Lashing”. After letting them practise for a little while we constructed two tripods, then allowed the scouts to practise their new skill by adding horizontal supports to the tripods. We then put a pole across the top of the tripods.
We discussed what the structure could be used for and the scouts came up with these ideas:
- A gateway
- A Shelter
- A swing
Before tonight I didn’t know how to construct tripods, so I’ve also learnt something new! I’m sure it will help with future pioneering projects.
