7 Essential Knots (video)
Troop,
You know I often have to remind you to put your phones away. But I am not totally against technology in Scouts. Here is a video on YouTube that I would encourage watching during (some) meetings. It is especially good for those of you under First Class and any of you who still need to learn knots, and as a refresher for anyone going to Kon-Tiki next in the weekend (1-Sep, 2017).
Enjoy!
Mr.Dickson
The 7 knots covered in the video are:
- Square Knot (Reef Knot)
