This is an open invitation night to all Patrols & Troops in Parramatta District for a fun activity.
The aim is to use ropes ,knots & spars in a fun useful way with some friendly competition & increase scouting skills in the District.
-Design may be a Catapult with rubber tubing or bungee cord/ Ballista with throwing arm & pull rope/Trebouge ( max 100kg counterweight) & must be inspected by your Troop Leader before use ( Throwing small cars, flaming balls dissallowed )
-Any design is allowed but must have a minimun of 6 Scout knots & no Screws, Bolts or similar excepting container attachment for holding ammunition in place for firing.
-Patrols using any elastic material such as rubber tubing, bungee cord must have a set of Safety Googles for the scout firing the sponges.
-All gear required for your design & sponges for ammunition with buckets must be brought by you unless you wish to take your chances with what you can find in the bush at Bundilla. ( Im sure the caretakers at bundilla would be happy for you to take it early if you wish )
-Wet Sponges are the prefered ammunition as no clean up is involved. Patrols bringing Water Balloons will be asked to clean up the rubbish by torch light at the end of the night.
-Patrols may fire upon any other patrols they wish once their construction is finished & their Scout Leader is happy that it is safe to operate.
