Scout Meeting 26/03/2012

Hi All,

On Monday 26th March we challenged our Scouts to design and build a container that would prevent an uncooked chicken egg from breaking when dropped by a Leader from a height of approx 4m. The Scouts should also be able to remove the egg without damage.

The Scouts worked in pairs or Groups and came up with many interesting and varied designs.

At the end of the challenge we dropped each container from a height of approx 4m and recorded the results. There was a prize for the winners who's eggs survived and a consolation prize for everyone else.

We had a lot of fun and the night was a big success.

We will be running a similar event later on in the year and we will allow more elaborate designs, including parachute systems!

Enjoy the photo's,
