Exclamation of boomerang as a contemporary activity

Boomerang is a throwing weapon typical of the Aboriginal tribes of Australia used for hunting. While weapons such as the Throwing Stick are also known to be made by other cultures around the world, most people associate the boomerang with Australia because of its historical consistency and variety of examples. The boomerang's motion is a combination of translation and rotation similar to helicopter blades. Boomerangs were used as hunting tools by Aboriginal tribes in the past. Since childhood, Aboriginal children have been trained to use boomerangs. Start training from a boomerang made of wood, then a boomerang with a metal with a blunt end and trained using a metal with a sharp tip.

Why the boomerang can return The boomerang design that was created long ago is able to deflect the upward flow of air and create the effect of an upward force (Bernaulli's Law). The reason is that the air above the boomerang is faster than the air below it. This theory is apparently able to make the boomerang air longer.

The way he throws the boomerang also helps him move in big circles. The boomerang must be held vertically with the curved side facing the thrower. The boomerang is also capable of rotating about 10 times per second and moving forward at a speed of about 95 km/h.

This automatic turn to the left comes from how the wind passes through the rotating arms. The boomerang also flew forward, but pulled back slightly, each time one arm twisted down and back.

This combination creates pressure at the top of the boomerang and gradually turns to the left. When forming a large circle, the boomerang will also 'lay down' like a spinning helicopter blade, then fly down from the air and land precisely into the hands of the thrower.

There are several types of materials used to make this boomerang. Besides being made of wood, boomerangs are also made of metal, stone, and some are made of bone.

Long ago, this boomerang weapon was designed to deflect upward airflow and create an upward lift effect.

Creating interesting, fun and up-to-date activities for cool young people.

In today's modern and all-digital era, young people often don't like scouting activities. it can be said that scouting activities that they feel are less interesting and challenging for the needs of today's young people. Scout activities that are often known by young people are only building tents, walking along rivers, singing and clapping. when in fact there are many interesting activities that young people can do, especially when they become Rover Ranger Scout and Senior Rover Senior Ranger Scout.

As young members of the scout movement we can create interesting activities for ourselves and of course also contemporary. Scout members must have creativity to make activities. Some of the interesting and fun and contemporary activities that we can do, for example, are playing in nature happily. Some examples of interesting activities include:

1. Orienteering activities.
Orienteering is the sport of finding a number of locations in real terrain using a map and compass, the location points in orienteering are called control points. The perpetrator or participant of orienteering is called an orienteer.

2. Play Archery

Archery is an activity using a bow to shoot arrows. Archery games can also be packaged in various forms. including jemparingan (archery in a sitting position), with target archery (ordinary archery), tag archery (can be played in teams). For Example Archery Tag :

3. Paddle

Rowing is a sport that uses paddles and takes place over rivers, lakes, and the sea. In the technique of rowing with oars, there are only two types of paddles, namely forward paddles and backward paddles.

 

4. Boomerang

Boomerang is a throwing weapon typical of the Aboriginal tribes of Australia used for hunting. While weapons like the Throwing Stick are also known to be made by other cultures around the world, most people associate the boomerang with Australia because of its historical consistency and variety of examples. This activity is fun for young people, especially the boomerang tool that we can easily make ourselves. 

5. Abseiling

Abseiling also known as rappelling is a controlled descent or ascending of a vertical drop, such as a rock face, using a rope.

During the current covid pandemic, where there are so many limitations that can be done. we can still make activities that are interesting, fun, and up to date. One of which we can see in the jamboree on the internet. we can still do camp-style activities online, through joticampsite.

Young people were invited to explore our map and join a series of dialogues, games, live shows, challenges and talent shows while connecting with other Scouts around the world. All activities and sessions are still accessible as recordings on the campite. 

 

There are many more interesting, fun, and contemporary activities that can be done, which I describe are just a examples. Steps to create interesting, fun, and contemporary activities:

1. Find as many references as possible

2. Learn Case Studies from Past Events

3. Creating an initial concept

4. Remove Unnecessary Elements
5. Menyusun Tim yang Kompeten

6. Brainstorming with Team

7. Event Concept Review
