Knots

Knot-tying has long been a part of the Scouting program. It promotes discipline and focus, and it teaches useful skills that can be used immediately. Most people can tie just one knot (the “overhand”); many Scouts know more than a dozen!

Here are some of the more common knots that we work on.

Square Knot

Two Half Hitches

Taut Line Hitch

Bowline
