Posted October 27, 201014 yr Moderator I did a district Pioneering Project lastv weekend for scouts and managed to film a leader testing the monkey bridge on me mobile. we built a high ropes course, Jacobs ladders, trebuchets firing raw eggs at volunteers and had a chariot race! great fun!!
October 28, 201014 yr Never did anything cool like that when I was in scouts. Most of our time was spent in the basement of a church reading out of the handbook.
October 28, 201014 yr My son's troop was pretty active. Went to a camp owned by the district council but leased to the state's National Guard. Some new Guard recruits were there training that weekend. Our young teens guys shamed them on the trials. Some of the recruits were too scared to repel down a cliff while our boys were zipping down like it was nothing. What a hoot!! They had an extensive high rope course at the same camp.
October 28, 201014 yr Author Moderator just had an explorer scout come back from the states. there is a scout shop in the Empire state building!! he went to a troop night and it was in the NYPD building and that night they did firearms in a street mockup firing on terrorists! Jeez, us brit scouts can only use .177 air rifles and shoot at abstract shapes!
