Knot of the Month – November 2016

All scouts will need to know how to correctly tie the Bowline knot for entry into the troop meetings for the month of November.

Bowline knot tying instructions

• 1. Lay the rope across your left hand with the free end hanging down. Form a small loop in the line in your hand.
• 2. Bring the free end up to and pass through the eye from the under side (the rabbit comes out of the hole).
• 3. Wrap the line around the standing line and back down through the loop (around the tree and back down the hole).
• 4. Tighten the knot by pulling on free end while holding standing line
