KNOTTING

“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.

The National Flag of the Republic of Maldives

A flag is most commonly used as an identification of a Country/Nation. The first flags were used to assist military coordination on battlefields, and flags have since evolved into a general tool for elementary signaling and identification, especially in environments where communication is similarly challenging. National flags are strong nationalistic symbols with varied wide-ranging interpretations, often including strong military associations due to their original and ongoing military uses. Flags are also used in messaging, advertising, or for other decorative purposes.
