Pioneering is the craft of creating structures using wooden spars and ropes joined by lashings and knots. It can be used for constructing small items such as small camp gadgets up to larger structures such as bridges and towers. These may be recreational, decorative, or functional. As a recreational activity, pioneering can be used for team building, as larger pioneering projects can only be undertaken in a team.
Pioneering is used as a part of the Scout programme. Many Scout groups train their members in pioneering skills and construct projects, both small and large. Pioneering is used to teach practical skills, teamwork and problem solving. In camp, Scouts may construct functional items like tables, camp dressers and gadgets as well as decorative camp gateways.
The name Pioneering comes from the work done by 18th and 19th century military engineers who went ahead of an army to build bridges and towers with rope and timber.

Basic knots[editar]
Basic lashings[editar]
- Square lashing, used to join two poles that will have structural importance, irrespective of the angle at which they cross. In practice, it is common to adopt a parallel lashing where spars cross at an angle of less than 45 degrees.
- Diagonal lashing, used to join two diagonal reinforcements in a pioneering structure, joining the spars that tend to spring apart, irrespective of the angle at which they cross.
- Round od Parallel lashing, used to join two poles in a straight line
- Sheer lashing, used to join two poles in a scissors shape, i.e., that will form shear legs.
Pioneering structures[editar]
These basic structures are the building blocks for a number of pioneering projects:
- A-frame
- Trestle
- Tripod
Pioneering projects[editar]
- Camp gateways
- Bridges
