    Anyone able to point me to some pioneering gadgets my Beavers could build to fulfill the requirements of their Stage 1 pioneering badge? The internet has not been my friend so far.

    A catapult and tripod using bamboo and elastic bands is enough for Stage 1.

    Absolutely, just looking for instructions on how to build them! Any links?

    Can't find links on how to do it but it's really just using elastic bands to bind the bamboo together.

    Here's a pic of a ballista done this way. Tripod and A frame combined to make it - there's your two gadgets straight away.
