Pegasus Explorer Scout Unit - Swindon

Last night we got stuck into some mini-pioneering, putting our knots, lashings and teamwork to the test!

The challenge? Build working models using poles and string. We ended up with a catapult which technically worked… although mainly if the aim was to launch the projectile backwards! We also built a crane capable of lifting and moving a bucket of water, with considerably more success.

A great evening of problem-solving, experimenting, laughing at unexpected results, and learning that sometimes engineering is just finding out what doesn’t work first. 👏
