Pioneering Opportunity


With Beaver's camp just around the corner and the Cub's Olympics this week we can try and learn a bit more about pioneering.

I have never had the opportunity to play with scouting engineering so since the Beaver camp has a medieval theme, I thought we could make a couple of working bamboo catapults for a siege game at the camp.

I found some plans, practice with rubber bands and kebab straws and made a small working model of what we'll attempt today in 1h we have booked at the HQ.

For the Olympics we need to try the white rope lines for the games. So far we have these events:

- Shot put
- Javelin
- Discus
- Relay Race
- Wheel borrow race
- Space hopper race

see what else we come up with, 3 are enough tho, maybe we can replace a throw with a more active game.

So a couple of gadgets to make, cubs Olympics to prepare and have a cup of tea in 1h 30m.

Very wishful thinking...
