Welcome to the Pioneering section. Pioneering involves the
process of designing and constructing equipment for practical
uses. This can range from a simple washstand for your bowl to
a cantilever raising bridge across a river.
Pioneering requires a familiarity with knots and lashings
and their appropriate use. With the more ambitious projects
teamwork and forward planning will be welcome additions to the
pioneers skill set.
For scouts pioneering can serve many practical and useful
purposes. A lengthy camp will be made all the more comfortable
with the addition of gates, benches, tables, washstands,
dressers, showers and other items.
Pioneering can be great fun, simple monkey bridges and
aerial runways can be as much fun to build as they are to
use.
Using your skills to construct a bridge across a lake can
serve both the enjoyment and practical sides in one go. You
certainly learn how to tie your lashings properly once you
have walked over a bridge and have it collapse under
you! |
