A Common Whipping

At Scouts this evening, we were showing the fine art of whipping and splicing a length of rope. Here is Luke proudly showing off his Common Whipping.

Colin Burrough, Scout Leader of 3rd Billericay, Orion Troop, shows the scouts how to tie a square lashing. This is training for completing the pioneer badge which we later used in a rather fun activity, Sedan Chairs. See above!
