Onnward Venture Scout Unit
Raft Building - 23rd June 2003

When you think of rafts you think sturdy, strong and a good floater. Yeah!!!! that's exactly what ours looked like!!!!

Our group were in the water for a lot of the time, swimming to the other side of pikes pool (where we did it) dragging our slowly falling apart raft with us.

But the other two groups had superior rafts which cut threw the water like a knife through butter.

Andy went for a nice swim in water (oh no mud!!!!!) which came up to his chest, and stank like a pile of S*%T, one raft got accidentally tipped over while someone was on it, but he got his revenge. And so will i...........ha ha ha!!!!
