Have you ever wondered what crate climbing is all about? Well, it involves climbing up the outside of milk crates starting with five or six and adding one to the top when nearly there – not as easy as you would think! The scouts are of course attached to a safety rope so there is no risk of injury. Thirty-five of them from four troops took part in a District-organised activity day and camp at Barrwood earlier in the year and the highest they managed was eleven crates. The picture shows the moment they fell over. The day also included backwoods cooking and wild slings.
