SVS Aerial Runway at Verdala

The Unit was asked to build and manage an Aerial Runway at Verdala as part of the Troop and Pack Easter Camp.

The VSL, AVSL and RVS Munir arrived at Verdala camping grounds at 0800 and immediately began the rig.



The Aerial Runway/Flyfox


At about noon the event began as part of the

Troop Assualt Course. The Scouts had to be equipped with harness, gloves and helmet (and sometimes a chest harness for the tiny scouts)- they would then be hooked on to the flyfox by the VSL and sent flying down where they would be stopped and helped out.

The Kitchen staff supplied us with ftiras and a much needed lunch break. When we were done with all the Scouts the Cubs had their go, then the Leaders and even the kitchen staff!!

Martin Farrugia and Miki Sammut helped us all throughout the Activity along with various Cub and Scout leaders who helped kit their boys up and see them off.




Our very own Munir has fallen and can't get up!!

The Unit spent around 11hrs on site, and it was quite a bit of hard work, but we did have quite a few laughs and it was an overall fun activity! Everyone appreciated the work put in a real lot and to give the Cubs and younger Scouts such an adventure was quite rewarding!





When all the Scouts, Scout Leaders, Cubs, Cub Leaders & Kitchen staff had had their turn we played with the Flyfox ourselves trying out fun stuff such asd the Superman!

We wore our harnesses the other way around and incorporated a wrong-way-round chest harness and went down face first!
