Trangia Race

Report Copyright Infringement View in OSM UK

Description

Scouts in teams relay to assemble and disassemble Trangia meth stoves . This is great fun and helps the scouts get familiar with the stoves in preparation for their Expedition challenge . They become quite fast after a few games . Top tip - the strap only has writing on one side so have writing facing upwards to make buckling strap easy to buckle .


Resources
