Loddon District Centenary Activity Day, Woodley Precinct, Sat 7th July
Aerial Runway
We plan to run our Aerial Runway down Woodley Precinct! This would be an excellent project for the Explorers. Mark E and his Dad will need to be closely involved on the design and setup. Current suggestion is Mark's Dad's tower and two heavy vehicles as the anchors. Mark to purchase new bungy ropes.
Colin to look at a clip and pulley rope system to pull Scouts to the top, then a leader posted at the top of tower to unclip the rope, let Scout descend free-style, then lower clip and rope end to be pulled back to start point again.
This would save the complexity and risk of each Scout having to manually climb the tower.
Gateway
Our other plan is for a major pioneering project gateway with all the District's flags mounted on top of it at the Reading Road entrance to the precinct. Flags from all Groups will need to be borrowed for the day.
