Outpost (Signal) Tower
Design of the optional “Outpost (Signal) Tower" for 100 bonus point!
The image is below. The instructions are for a 14’ tall structure. https://scoutpioneering.com/2013/02/02/14-double-ladder-signal-tower/
MATERIALS:
- four 4-inch x 14-foot tower legs
- ten 2-inch x 3-foot climbing ladder rungs
- three 2-inch x 3-foot support ladder spreaders
- two 2-1/2-inch x 6-foot base spreaders
- two 2-1/2-inch x 6-foot platform supporting spars
- two 2-inch x 3-foot platform handrails
- two 2-inch x 6-foot platform long handrails
- four 2-1/2-inch x 10-foot X braces
- two 2-1/2-inch x 8-foot X braces
- eighteen 2-inch x 3-1/2-foot platform support slats
- eight pioneering stakes
- binder twine
- four 3/8-inch x 50-foot manila guylines
- thirty-one 1/4-inch x 15-foot manila lashing ropes (for 28 square Lashings and 3 diagonal lashings)
- twenty-two 1/4-inch x 20-foot manila lashing ropes (for 22 square lashings)
If your scouts wish, they can scale it down to this 8’ tall structure, for fewer points (because there’d be fewer lashes). https://scoutpioneering.com/2013/08/07/climbing-towers-at-the-jamboree/
Our pioneering pro (volunteer) leader Marty Price will be judging your work again this year - thanks Marty!
Given the proper practice and preparation, this should take approximately 2 hours to build Saturday afternoon. No pre-built sections, of course - we will go around and check for the pile of materials before calling “GO” at 12:30. Leaders advise but do not build, of course. Towers will be judged starting at 5 p.m., all work must stop at that time.
Need tips on what type of materials to buy for these, if this is new for your unit and leaders?
