This Activity is meant for Boy Scouts, Webelos scouts.

long stick pretzels (7 inches long)
long shoestring licorice

Each patrol gets 8-10 pretzels and 20 pieces of licorice.

Give the assignment to use lashings to:

• Build a teepee in less than 3 minutes.
• Build the tallest free-standing structure in less than 3 minutes.
• Build ... whatever else you want.

It's actually quite difficult to successfully lash with the licorice, so this is mostly for fun.
