Pioneering 5

Above before, and after on the right

As you become more competent you will want to build bigger and more complicated things, like the ones in these photos. At 1st Great Eccleston we have built a number of deferent things over the years, some of which have featured on television on a number of occasion. We are known for our pioneering demonstrations and displays at local fairs and shows, as a Leader I have been invited to set up, and judge, a number of pioneering challenges in District, and County, competitions. But the thing I like most is teaching both young and old pioneering principles, and better still watching the enjoyment they get out of building, and using them.

learn to build small bridges before going onto larger ones, they can be just as much fun to build and use, and you don't have to lug all that extra equipment around. The other advantage is they are more appealing to younger people, the one on the left was built as part of a display at a local primary school.

Start simple and gradually work your way up to larger projects, learn to walk before you can run, and your confidence will grow as you become more competent. The other advantage of doing it this way is your equipment will grow according to your needs, and that way you will not waste money on things you don't need, its no use having a store room full of equipment you can not use!

	Activities involving ropes can be dangerous. Therefore If you decide to replicate any of the activities, shown and described on these pages, they must be done under the supervision of a responsible person or instructor. When using knots the choice of materials; the age, size, and condition of ropes; and the accuracy with which you tie them is crucial. Also using the correct knot for the job, is just as important as maintaining all your pioneering equipment in first class condition. For this reason no responsibility can be accepted for incidents arising from the use of this material. pioneering 1 • 2 • 3 • 4 • 5 • 6 • 7 • 8 • 9
