Knots

Hello Den 4

There are 4 knots that we need to master. The square knot, the bowline, the taut line hitch and two half hitches.  This chart has 40 scout knots.  They all have a purpose.  Knots called hitches attach rope to something. Whippings secure the ends of rope.  Lashings tie poles together

Here is a short video that highlights 7 knots.

All four required knots are demonstrated:  the square knot, the bowline, the taut line hitch and two half hitches.  All 7 of the knots are very nicely demonstrated and are all very useful.
