THURSDAY DECEMBER 19th
For the last meeting of term before Christmas, the Scouts were set a pioneering challenge. They had to construct sturdy A frames which the leaders attached to arial ropeways. The teams of Scouts also had to construct from paper and sticky tape, a box which could be used, to transport sweets along the aerial ropeways. The teams of scouts would then be able to transport the box one way or the other along the ropeway by pulling on ropes. The leaders filled the boxes with sweets at the far end of the ropeway. Meanwhile the Young Leaders were armed with balls, which they used to knock the sweet payload out of the boxes, generally distract the Scouts and disrupt the operation of efficient candy conveyance.
The most efficient teams won more sweets than they could stuff in their pockets! |
