Pioneering

County Adviser: Colin Scarff

 

This is the art of building structures out of wood and ropes, normally using a range of different sized poles. It brings out elements of creativity, problem solving and team building. It is a classic camp activity but also would fill an evening programme. Projects can be adapted to be relevant all the various scout sections.

There is some guidance HERE

Nature and the outdoors are languages that can be learned. Once you identify a beech tree, tie a clove hitch or cook a simple meal over a fire that you’ve built yourself, you’ll never forget it.'
