Programme Spark

Being able to pitch and strike a tent is another vital skill for camp, that works well when everyone is doing it the same way.

For this Spark you should create a 'How To' video showing how to pitch and strike a tent that your Section normally uses.

They should break the video into sections giving step-by-step instructions for each stage.

Shots from the video could also be printed out on to cards and kept with the tent for future reference. 

Adapting for each Section

 

Badge Links

Beavers will need a demonstration of what to do beforehand and adult help during the video.

Cubs may need some assistance with the taller parts of the tents. This would be a good opportunity for Sixers experienced in camping to take the lead. 

Experienced Scouts and Explorers should need no help with this!
