Pioneering is basically building things. Think lego, but a bit more grown up. We build things out of logs, rope, pullegs and the like. Some people don't think it is that interesting, but soon change their mind when they see some of the things that can be built! Recent projects we have done are listed below. This list will grow over time.

Other Leaders - I do not have any great pioneering knowledge. I can count the number of knots I know on one hand (square lashing, round turn and two half hitches, reef knot, clove hitch and a random thing I call a tension knot) - you don't need any great technical knowledge to build exciting pioneering stuff - just a good imagination!

	Assault Course (November 2005 + 2006) Every year we build an assault course in the scout hut. It takes 2 days for the scout leaders, with the scouts helping, to construct. This year it was used by over 200 children during the week before a team of scouts and parents took it down in about 90 mins on a saturday morning! more...
