Or, perhaps, if the leaders of your corps were to make it a semi regular thing, rather than taking the easy way out and put them on the square every night, then it will be used again, won't it? On my TQ3 and 5A, we built all manner field engines, aerial ropeway, gyn and shear, single pole derrick, etc. Did I ever have to build one in real life? No. Was it an interesting exercise in teamwork, knowledge, and even a little physics? You bet. If you can get Ontario hydro or whoever to donate a half dozen poles and a few miles of rope, the kiddies may get to do something out of the ordinary. I was a sea cadet too, and other than my two weeks in Quadra, I have never set foot on a whaler or a cutter.
