Pioneering
This is a real Scouting activity, perhaps the only Scoutcraft
activity which Scouts still do more of and better than anyone else.
Building bridges, catapults and structures out of wooden poles and
ropes.
It is
all about teamwork and individual skills blending to make the impossible
possible. Building 4 or 5 metre towers, rope bridges, swings, which can
weight as much as a tonne when all the component parts are put together.
All built by Scouts.
We used to be heavily involved in
the County Pioneering Course and provided a number of Instructors for the
event and take part in the camp twice each year. We now run Pioneering
"in-house" and offer the activity as a training course for District.
In 2002 we also provided Pioneering for
Bingley District Beavers Fun day and formed over half of the team for the
Pioneering base at the Chief Scout's Camp.
