Patrols were challenged to burn through a piece of wool which was 6 feet away. Armed with 20 bamboo sticks, a tea light and elastic bands the patrols designed and built a structure to support their team light. Well done to each patrol for successfully completing the challenge.

We were missing one of our leaders, Shay, who is currently on the other side of the world, living it up!

So we sent him a message, Raven Troop style!
