WOW! scoutpioneering/2012/12/27/double-a-frame-monkey-bridge/ scoutpioneering/2013/02/15/anchoring-pioneering-projects/ MONKEY BRIDGE The well-known, time-tested, traditional Monkey Bridge is perhaps the most familiar of all Scout pioneering projects. It’s frequently featured at Scout Expos, Camporees, Scout Camps, and is often a central attraction at public gatherings where Scouting is represented. PIONEERING ANCHOR Building pioneering projects often requires some type of strong point for attaching a guy line for a tower or derrick. An anchor point might also be needed to anchor one or both ends of a monkey bridge. Sometimes nature will provide a tree or rock in just the right location or you might be able to shift the location of the project to take advantage of a natural anchor. 3-2-1 ANCHOR As the name implies, the 3-2-1 anchor is made by driving stakes in a series: three stakes, then two stakes, and then one stake to form the anchor (see figure 89). All six stakes are 30″ long and are driven 18″ into the ground at a 20° angle. LOG AND STAKE ANCHOR The log-and-stake anchor is easy to make and can hold a considerable amount of pull. You can tie the line directly to the log, or you can use a ring-and-rope grommet as shown in figure 90.
