1st Cobargo Scout Group

The Big Swing - a "Grampar" construction

The big swing is a 15M high swing, where the kids are securely strapped into an abseiling harness. This is connected to 2, 15M steel cables and then towed to the top of the swing arch with a tractor. The 1st few seconds feel like free-falling, before the swing action kicks in. The individual has full control as to how high they were towed.

Low Ropes Course

The Low Ropes Course is a series of ropes suspended just off the ground, and requires the kids to negotiate the course, using poles, vertical and horizontal ropes or just plain old balancing.

Crate Stacking

Crate Stacking is all about balance, the kids put on a helmet, and are then strapped into an abseiling harness. The tension is held by 4 supervised scouts. The challenge is to climb up the milk crates, place another one on top of the stack and then repeat the climbing and stacking as high as they can go

Ladder Climb

Ladder Climb is all about facing the challenges of height. After strapping on an abseiling harness which is belayed by 4 Scouts, the individual then has to climb the ladder which is only about 15cm wide.
