Kon-Tiki (Scouting)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Kon-Tiki refers to Scout and Guide raft building competitions held by Scouts South Africa and Scouts Australia.[1] Named after Thor Heyerdahl's Kon-Tiki expedition of 1947, teams of Scouts and Guides age 11 to 17 compete to build and live on a raft for a weekend. Support crews compete in other events while the raft is afloat.
