Swingboat


8th Pretoria Saint Alban's built this Swingboat earlier this year at Gauteng Kontiki. Total construction time was around 4 hours, with a troop of approximately 20 (relatively young) scouts. The swing seat plank is suspended using a scaffold hitch. A complete list of equipment for a smaller version of this swing is available at the SA Scouting website (PDF).
