Jungle Gym For The Scouts And Their Community

A jungle gym is the perfect way for children of all ages to have fun outside with their friends. I took this project so I could provide a way of entertainment that doesn't disturb other activities that are happening in the area, i.e. scout meetings.
The project was implemented at the Scout Hall that I belong to, and I had help from the scouts that participate in the meetings at the hall. It was executed by scouts and the donators (who gave the jungle gym that had already been prebuilt). We put it back up using tools and skills that we learnt along the way.
Parents of cubs and scouts don't have to worry too much about their child disrupting others meetings that are going in the area. The clubs that also often come around during the week have a space to let their smaller children play on instead of just waiting around for the club to finish. With parental supervision
Things don't always go to plan and I had to make decisions that weren't preplanned. Unexpected things caused delays. Small things often take the longest. We were outside, so we were at mercy to the weather. I would change the amount of people that were allowed to come on each day as having too many many people often actually hindered the work speed.
