Painting a Jungle Gym
Group committee members, Scouters, parents, Cubs and Scouts met at Strandfontein Primary School to paint the 3 jungle gym equipment. They were divided into three groups with the Troop Leaders being in charge of the group and being assigned one jungle gym each.
Each Troop Leader decided on what needed to be done at their respective jungle gym and gave instructions on what to do. The grass area around the equipment was cleared first so as to make the painting easier. Both Scouts and Cubs benefited by learning painting techniques. Three pulling up ropes to attach to the jungle gym were incorporated by adding various splicing and scout knots into it.
“Everyone enjoyed the project especially the Cubs at some point there was more paint on their aprons than on the wood”. Said Chantal Steer who led the project.
