As part of the rafting competition, team can submit a log book to be scored against the Team Spirit sub competition. This log book provides the judges with evidence of how much effort the team has put into the pre-event planning for KonTiki 2010.

In scouting, log books are often used as a record of an event (usually a hike or a camp) containing a detailed account of all the preparation required before the event, and an account of how things went during the event. It also often contains the writer’s…

This year sees an addition to the Spare Time Activity (STA) for the Supporter’s Competition, a Scouting in Action photographic competition. This aims to encourage teams to take photographs at KonTiki that show Scouts doing Scouting things. The competition is open to anyone (we will only mark the best photo from each team) and doesn’t require a professional camera. The photograph should be candid (rather than staged) and show Scouts doing Scouting things. Image quality will be assessed but a standard…

As is custom at KonTiki, teams are required to perform a final registration on arrival. This registration enables the KonTiki organizers the opportunity to confirm all the information gathered during the initial registration. It also gives the team a last minute option to change their minds with regards to the competitions they wish to participate in, and ask any questions that they may have.

Score sheets are generated for each team based on the competitions selected on the competition entry …

In years gone by, the scoring at KonTiki was a laborious and time-consuming affair; with many hours spend in front of an Excel spreadsheet, with a mad rush to be finished by Sunday afternoon.

Over the last four years, hundreds of hours (not just during the event) have been put in to achieve the level of sophistication we currently enjoy. A semi-automated process, requiring little human input, has been developed to create a more efficient and objective judging and scoring system. Score-sheets …

Every year hundreds of Scouts gather at Murray Park, as they have done for the past twenty-seven KonTiki’s, to pit their pioneering skills against one another constructing a raft. But have you ever stopped to think about where all this began?
