Kontiki 2015: There be dragons

Kontiki is the annual rafting race where scouts are challenged to build a raft and live on it for 24 hours.
This year's Kontiki was held from 15-17 May and the theme was "There be dragons" and it was all about exploring unknown places. As usual Adiero participated in Kontiki and, as usual, we did phenomenally well. There was approximately 50 teams at Kontiki this year and our overall score put us at 15th with our raft crew coming in 16th. The meal competition for the shore team, that was run by 3 Pathfinders, came in 4th! The meal competition is often run by 16 year-olds in other troops but our Pathfinders beat most of them and did so well.

We're all looking forward to next years theme "Jedi Knights"!
