Pioneering (scouting)

Pioneering in scouting is like building forts and structures using ropes and wood. First, we need to gather some long sticks (called poles) and some thick ropes. We tie knots on the poles and use the ropes to tie them together.

We can make different shapes like A-frames, Tripods or even bridges by tying two A-frames together with a long pole across the top. We can also attach sticks across the frames, making a sort of frame or skeleton for our fort.

We can use these structures for lots of things, like holding up tents or to create a nice shady area to sit in while we go camping.

Just like when we build with our Legos or Blocks, we need to be safe and be careful when building these structures. We don't want anybody to get hurt! So we make sure all the knots are tied well and everything is sturdy so we can have lots of fun!
