“Knotting” or “Knot tying” skills are one the most common and interesting skills that we learn during our Scouting life. In this series, “Team SOM” is focusing some of the common knots; including tenderfoot (first stage/membership), second class (scout standard) and first class (advance scout standard) knots.
Knot tying skills are often transmitted by sailors, scouts, climbers, cavers, arborists, rescue professionals, fishermen, and surgeons. After one has mastered a few basic knots, diagrams and pictures become easier to understand. As one learns more knots, one starts to distinguish patterns in their structure and tying method. Learning knots demands practice and patience.
