Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

Trebuchet design

    Hey folks,
    I've recently rekindled my love of scouts by becoming a leader as my young fella joined as a beaver.
    Anyway I have a very happy memory of my youth whereby we made a trebuchet from spares and sisel rope and spent an afternoon firing rocks down a hill.
    Does anyone know where I would get a design for a trebuchet?
    It seems medieval instruments of war are a constant source of joy for kids! :-)

    There's a really oldschool one here:
    http://www.thedump.scoutscan.com/pionprojects.pdf ;)

    Sadly this board is dead dead dead. The 1st Facebook Group is a great place for ideas once you learn to filter out all the rubbish that gets posted.

    I believe there's an SI forum but I've no idea how much traffic it gets as (not being an SI scouter) I don't have access.

    Escouts, though mostly UK oriented, is also a great source of ideas etc.

    The SI forum has been taken down when the website was updated recently. With a little encouragement maybe we could come back and reactivate this forum.
    The difference with the SI forum was that only scouters/members could access it so we could talk a little more freely (Note I said difference - not advantage/disadvantage - because it can go both ways :))

    And back to the OP.. Galway Scout County Camp made catapults a couple of years ago.

    Design was something like this but used car inner tubes to create the propulsion.
