Help! I am helping my son plan a patrol campout. He wants to provide the opportunity for boys to make a useful camp gadget to meet an advancement requirement. (I think it's first class?) Anyway, we are having a hard time coming up with ideas. Anyone have a great idea for a useful gadget that would be a good group project? I understand each boy has to make their own, but my son thought he could plan an idea and have directions/materials available. I appreciate any suggestions! I just discovered this forum and I am so happy to see all the great info here.

Look in the pioneering MB book which contains some good examples
If it is not written down then it is not an official rule

Build a friction table. There is a friction bridge in the Troop Planning book in the Engineering part. But our boys are down sizing it into a table to sit the water jugs on.
your community is a tree. You are either a leaf that feeds it or mistletoe that suckes it dry. Be sure you are always a leaf.

Tripods are always good, to hold pots and stuff, also this boy in my troop attached a thick stick to a tree for a trashbag.
Good Luck

It is requirement #6c make a useful camp gadget using lashings. Our scouts usually make a table.

If you turn to pages 144 and 145 in the hand book there are many different ideas. I myself made a kitchen helper and a tripod dutch oven holder. Its completely up to the scout what they make but it most use at least one lashing from the book and the scoutmaster most approve it. I dont recommend tying anything to living plants without land owner permission.

You could do a tripod to hold a dutch oven over a fire or a wash stand or connecttwo tripods with a rope to create a clothes line. Those are the ones we did at our annual Klondike. You could also use lashings to complete a floating flag pole.
