On our March 10, 2009 meeting, the Troop held a patrol shelter building challenge. Each patrol was given a set of supplies and specific criteria that their shelter needed to meet. Supplies included PVC pipes for framing, butcher paper, and duct tape. Patrols needed to first design their shelter concept, measure and cut their supplies, and build.
Once all the shelters were built, each patrol had to present their shelter to a panel of judges (parents who were actual engineers!) It was quite interesting to see how each patrol interpreted and solved for each of the task requirements.
Overall, a fun and educational experience for all!
