Pioneering - Bridge Building at Boyd Field

The first part of the project was to make "A" frames to support the rope bridge.

      

Next we had to get the main rope across the "A" frames and tighten it with block and tackle.

      

Some of the "A" frames did not have enough room at the top to attach the hand rails, so our first attempt at crossing the "great divide" was by crawling across the single rope.

      

      

      

      

... and our best rope crawler was Anthony.

I feel there must be a caption for this photo ... any thoughts!!

After a lunch of burgers and hot dogs, the Scouts then made the correct "A" frame and attached the hand rails.

      

      

   

... and finally, the Leaders!!!
