DID YOU KNOW ?

ASH TRADITION.
The ash tradition represents the Friendship and Scouting Spirit.
It's goes like this, you keep the ashes from Campfire A.
After that, the next campfire, let's call it Campfire B, you mix the ashes from Campfire A to Campfire B.
Pretty cool huh? :)


MINIATURE PIONEERING.


This technique was originally used by Scouts to create a model for campsite planning.
Although design and complexity plays a major part in judging the value of a model, BUT, lashing quality plays a major role whereby it is evaluated based on the three criteria.
1) Tightness
2) Tidiness
3) Cleanliness

Real Pioneering.
An example of a camp gateway.
