Knotting evening and Investiture
First night back… but not a huge turnout. Anyway, the subject was knotting - and with some interesting challenges (congratulations to Gerry managing 160 turns of the skipping rope!)
The knots we challenged the Scouts to tie were:
- reef knot
- Clove hitch
- sheet bend
- Figure of 8 knot
- round turn and two half hitches.
We also taught many how to tie them, how to recognise them and what they were used for.
We also conducted an investiture - so congratulations.

I think I’ve forgotten all the knots already!
