District Splosh! - Rafting Competition (Sep 2008)

Every two years, all the Scout Troops around Swanley gather at Leybourne Lakes for a raft racing competition.

It looks a lot like a Scrapheap Challenge to start with, but the finished result was ten times better.

And to prove it, Crockenhill Scouts won!

• Getting started

  Is this the right way up? What happened to the instructions?

  

• Wot knots?

  Now was it three wraps and four fraps, or three fraps and two wraps?

  

• Nearly done

  Now that’s more like a raft.

  

• Ready to launch

  Life jackets and air guitars ready!

  

• In the water

  On a lake with four paddles.

  

• Can you?

  A flotilla of rafts close on a lone canoeist.

  

• Raft overboard!

  Two “life-rafts” launch to save a raft in trouble.

  

• Winners

  It’s great to take part in a fun day out. It’s even better to be the Champions.
