Square Lashings

Requirements

The objective of this activity is to teach everybody how to do a Square Lashing. The activity was split over two troop meetings. During the first week each patrol was taught how to do a Square Lashing by a leader and then given poles and string to practice for themselves.
The next week each patrol was given a project to do which would show if they had listened and learned in the previous week's meeting!
Each patrol was given 8 poles, string and rope. The project was to construct a bed on which one member of the patrol can lie on. The picture below illustrates what I had in mind but as you can see from the photos below each patrol had their own ideas.
