Ooh,no personal floatation jacket,bad example to set the scouts.

Very well done though.

i saw the thread, and i though you had got a half a dozen scout and tied them together to make a canoe , but i was wrong,
it look like a good canoe project. i will try it out with my sea cadets.

stovie as a leader, you are showing a very bad example to your scouts, it look like you canoeing in your uniform & without a lifejacket/bouyancy aid .

 

[stovie]

All the scouts wore the only floatation aid we had...it was too small for me, and I only took to the water when the scouts cajoled me

yes I was in uniform cos wee'd just had an investiture, and me floating was not planned...But my street cred is intact...

Just to prove my point...

sorry to bump up a old thread but what did you paint the canoe with and was it just the inside use painted or inside and outside?

[jon r]

Im not sure if stoivie painted the inside as well as the outside. I have made two canvas canoes myself and i have only ever painted the outside of the canvas.

Why do you ask? are you making a canoe too?

yup i want a filler for a few weeks between my holiday and blair atholl scout camp so i thought of doing a canvas canoe ( ur second walk through ) and the bamboo bow.

then it will be a few weeks worth of programmes when the scouts and explorers are back on after summer camp.
