Alligator Pit Crossing Activity
This Activity is meant for Scouts BSA.
Required:
Per team: 4 15foot ropes, 3 10foot ropes, 3 6-8foot poles
Notes:
A member from each team needs to get across a foul pit teaming with starved alligators.
Instructions:
Each team assembles by their equipment.
On 'GO' signal, the team lashes an A-frame stilt walker using. They then attach the 4 guide ropes to the top of it.
One member boards the walker and tries to 'walk' it across the alligator pit while 4 other members steady it with the guide ropes.
When the team crosses the pit, they disassemble the walker, stack the equipment, line up, and give their yell.
Score for speed, teamwork, quality of walker, neatness of equipment.
