" To tie a knot seems to be a simple thing, and yet there are
right ways and wrong ways of doing it, and scouts ought to
know the right way."
Baden-Powell, Scouting for Boys, 1915
Three Tests of a Good Knot:
It should be easy to tie
It should stay tied
It should be easy to untie
In Scouting you will need to learn knots for your
advancements through the ranks. You shouldn't only learn
these knots for advancements but keep the knowledge you
have learned for later on in life. Its better to know a knot and
not need it, than need a knot and not know it.
