Strike A Light
Requirements:
- Staves/broom handles
- String
- Sand paper
- Tape/chalk
- Matches
- Candles
Introduction:
- The objective of this activity is to simply strike a match on some sandpaper which is pined/taped to the wall and light a candle directly underneath the sandpaper. Split the troop into groups of 2 or 3 and give each team 2 staves, string and one match. Mark a line MORE than 1 and a half staves length from the sandpaper on the wall. Place a candle on the floor underneath the sandpaper. Now get each team to light the candle without ANYBODY passing the marked line.
- This activity should help each Scout practice/learn how to do a Round Lashing.
