Resources

poles, rope, mascots

Instructions

Young people in their groups are challenged to be the first group to construct a stretcher to safely carry their mascot across a course. Depending on the young people's prior knowledge, you may provide plans and knot and lashing diagrams, or just provide materials and ask them to design the stretcher.
A simple stretcher can be made by square lashing 4 canes into a frame and then using lengths of string to fill in the gap between the poles as a base for mascot to lie on.
