Kon-Tiki

Kon-Tiki is a competition where Scout Troops build a raft from drums, rope and poles using pioneering. In some of these events, a patrol or team stays on the raft for 24 hours and completes various challenges while other Scouts who assisted in raft construction may take part in "fringe" events on shore while the raft is afloat, and Cub and Meerkat activities may also take place as part of the overall Kon-Tiki event.

The Kon-Tiki competition is named after Thor Heyerdahl's 1947 expedition from Peru to the Tuamotu Islands.

Kon-Tiki Western Cape competition began in 1978, and Kon-Tiki Gauteng (originally Transvaal) adopted its own Kon-Tiki competition in 1985 anmd also runns Rovertiki. Other Kon-Tiki competitions and raft events in South Africa include Kon-Tiki Eastern Cape South, Kon-Tiki Outeniqua, and the KZN Raft Race. Scouts Australia also runs Kon-Tiki events.
