Potassium Permanganate+Glycol=awesome! At a Jamborette (local mini jamboree) there was a competition where you had to light a fire tall enough to pop a balloon, using one match and wet wood. Took my patrol about 15 seconds
The leaders in charge of that activity didn't like our 'be prepared' attitude.
I remember voting out the new uniform back in 1999
Binford, The aircraft are available for all age levels, I first went in the cessnas as a cub, and the gliding was during scouts that I tried it. The pilots are all members of Scouts Aus.
The expensive gear such as planes are owned by the overall org, and to make the most of it, any age group are allowed to use them. A nominal fee to cover fuel and maintenance is charged. Smaller stuff like canoes are property of the individual troop.
