Model pioneering

Model pioneering involves building a small model of a pioneering project. It should be to scale, and as accurate as possible in order to use as a guide when building the large project.

Hints for making a model

• Choose a suitable scale so that the model is at most 1m in length.
• Make the whole model at the same scale.
• Use appropriate knots on both the project and the model.
• The model is a training aid for other Scouts attempting the project.
• Clear glue can be used to stop knots from undoing.
• Include your whole patrol in making both the model and the project.
• Present your model neatly, and mark the scale on the presentation board.
