Troop 2 Knot ProgramProgram Outline

The Troop 2 knot program is designed to provide an advanced scouting and life skill to scouts of rank 1st class, Star, Life and Eagle.

The way it works is that the scout signs up to learn 10 advanced knots of his choice. Instruction on the knot will be provided by the troop with help from this instruction book.

The scout is to show a Geezer, who knows the particular knot that the scout knows it’s use and construction.

The Scout will earn recognition for doing so.The current recognition is One Fancy Dangle/Carabineer set for each 10-knots mastered. This may be worn from a belt loop with pride. Additionally and new this year is an award of a mini-knot book and a spool of 4# test monofilament fishing line.

Important informationThis program is recommended for scouts of 1st class or higher rank but is open to anyone in the troopKnots may be listed and completed in any orderPractice is key: Counselor coaching and test/signoff must occur in 2 separate sessionsScout must KNOW how to tie the knot and what it is used forWhen 10 knots are signed off, return this form to the current knot program coordinatorCompletion of 10 knots entitles the scout to the prize listed in the program guideNo repeats – Work on subsequent sets of 10 may not repeat any knots.See overleaf for the basic knot elements


Troop 2 Knot ProgramKnot Elements

Knot: A method for fastening or securing linear material such as rope by tying or interweaving.

Getting to know the elements of a knot will make it easier to learn most knots.

The following pages contain uses and instructions on some of the many knots.


Troop 2 Knot ProgramBasic knot review

Remember to forget how to make this knot


Troop 2 Knot ProgramKnot instruction/Use

Alpine Butterfly AKA Butterfly loop or Lineman’s knot

Used to make a loop in the middle of a rope. The rope still runs straight and so will be under less stress than if a figure eight knot were used for the same purpose. See animation on www.grogono.com/knot or http://www.geocities.com/roo_two/butterflyloop.html



Ashley’s Stopper Knot AKA Oysterman’s Stopper


Troop 2 Knot ProgramKnot instruction/UseBarrel knot (Or Blood Knot)

1. Cross both pieces in and x leaving at least 8” overlap

2. Wind one end around the standing part of the other 5 times and pass the end on the other side of the ‘X’ formed by the intersection

3. Pinch the line at this point and with the other hand wind the free end around the standing part in the other direction 5 times. Pass this end through the same loop as the first end but in the opposite direction

4. Lubricate and hold (don’t pull)both ends while pulling on the standing parts to tighten.

• This knot is used to tie 2 lines together, especially in fishing applications



Bimini TwistFrom Ron Brooks,

Long, non-slip double lines are a necessity when trolling for big billfish. Short versions are helpful and easy to tie.Difficulty: AverageTime Required: 3 minutes Here's How:

1. Take about 4 yards of line from the reel, and sit down on a chair. 2. Run the line under your shoes and up to your thighs. Take the tag end in one

hand and the rod end in the other. You should feel like you are about to tie your legs and feet together.

3. Hold both pieces of line in front of you and above your lap. 4. With your knees together, twist the tag end of the line around the rod end about

10 or 12 times. You should now have a loop of line that goes under your shoes and is around both of your thighs, and closes at the twists above your lap.

5. Take the tag end of the line in one hand, the rod end in the other, and simultaneously begin moving your knees apart as you move your arms apart. This will shorten and tighten the twists in the line in front of you.

6. Continue this until the twists are extremely tight. 7. Now begin to relax the tension on the hand that has the tag end. As you do so,

continue the tension with your other arm and knees. Move the arm with the tag end down as the tension is released, The line will double back on itself and twist the other direction and down over the previous twists.

8. Continue tension and tie two half hitches around one of the single lines at the bottom of the twist.

9. Finish with two half hitches at the bottom of the twist around both lines.Tips:1. The length of the double line can be adjusted by adjusting the distance between

your feet. 2. Very long double lines can be tied with this method by using some innovation.

Try placing the loop end of the line around a stationary object and then under your feet. The tension can still be acquired by spreading your knees.



Boa Knot

• Same as the constrictor knot but with an additional coil in the beginning and slightly more ornamental when finished. • Quick to tie, bonds strongly. • Both can also be tied to a pole with the rope end rather than with the bight, much like the clove hitch.


Troop 2 Knot Program Knot instruction/UseBoatswain’s weave

• Useful for line storage or as a bell-pull


Troop 2 Knot ProgramKnot instruction/UseBowline on a Bight

Like the French bowline the bowline on a bight forms two loops, but they must be of the same size. Start by making a good size bight and an overhand loop. Bring the end loop down and around the entire knot. Set the knot securely before putting weight on it.

See animation on www.grogono.com/knot



Block and Tackle

• This is one of many possible configurations for block and tackle



Blood Loop



Cleat wind

•The recognized way to secure your boat to a cleat.

•When half formed presents a holding or adjusting position.

•When complete and secure it can still be released easily

•Also excellent for securing a flag on a flagpole



Constrictor Knot

• Quick to tie, bonds strongly. • For a quick whipping of a fraying rope’s end or for tying the neck of a sack or bag



Clinch knot (And “Improved Clinch knot”)

•The usual way to tie a fly to the end of a tippet. 1- Insert 6-8” of line through the eye of the hook2- hold the fly in the left hand and with the right hand coil the line around the standing part 5 times keeping a small loop close to the hook eye.3- Bring the tag or running end of the line back through the hook eye and grasp with the left thumb and forefinger.4- Lubricate and tighten by gently pulling the standing part and the tie, do not pull the tag end of the line. Trim the tag end closely.The “Improved Clinch knot” is achieved by passing the tag end back through the loop caused in step 3.However, experiment with this before judging between the two methods.



Dropper Knot



Duncan Loop (Uni knot)



Eye Splice

Makes a strong “eye” on the end of a rope. Shown above is 4 complete “tucks” For today’s more slippery materials a minimum of 5 complete tucks is necessary. For long term or critical applications a minimum of 7 is necessary. See animation on animatedknots.com



Figure eight knot

Used as a stopper knot to ensure a knot end willNot slip through. It is also used to start some other knots such as the figure eight bend



Fisherman’s knot

The fisherman’s knot is used for joining two fine lines such as fishing leaders. It is simply two overhand knots, one holding the right-hand line and the other the left-hand line. Pull each of the two overhand knots taut separately. Then make the whole knot taut so the two overhand knots come together by pulling on the standing parts of each line.

A safe and simple way to join ropes

For safety, the tail ends should be longer than pictured and can then be tied in a doube overhand stopper knot as shown below.



Four in hand knot

For tying your neck tie under a medium collar –also look into the windsor and half windsorknots for wide and medium collars respectively.



Gasket coilor Buntline

A method for neatly storing your length of rope or to gather up excess and keep it out of the way..


Troop 2 Knot ProgramKnot instruction/UseHeaving Line Knot



The Monkey’s Fist (Page 1 of 4)

The Monkey’s fist is used on the end of a line tomake it easier to catch.1. Begin with 3 three loose parallel loops around the Spread fingers of your left hand. Leave about 18”Hanging at the beginning. We call this set of loops“A loops”2. Start a fourth loop only this time come betweenYour little and ring fingers




3. Now work the end of the line back between yourlittle and ring fingers close to your palm to“capture” the A loops. Also keep these loops loose.4. Next, pass the line over, between your ring and middle fingers and come back through these same fingers.5. Repeat this process going through your middle andIndex fingers. We’ll call these the “B loops”




We are know looking down on your finger tips.6. Bring a second loop down between your middle and index finger, only this time pass the line down the back side of your index finger inside the A loops7. Next bring the line back up (hand to fingertip) alongthe back side of your little finger going inside of the A loops. You should begin to be capturing the B loops. These are the “C loops”8. Now come over the top and run the line down the top of your index finger. Again capturing B loops butstaying inside of the A loops

7




9. Repeat number 7 only going down the palm side of the little finger. At this point you should be able to pull your fingers out and with a little tightening begin to form a ball.10. Now make a 3rd C loop, paralleling the 2nd.11. Start a 4th loop going back down parallel to the 4th

loop. This finishes the knot tying part.12. Insert your weighted core and start working the loops to tighten the knot.13. Finishing can be done with any seizing technique such as a clove hitch.See animation on http://131.230.57.1/knots/m_fist.htm



Mooring Hitch

Palomar knot

A popular fishing knot



Perfection loop

A popular fishing Leader knot


The Pineapple Knot falls within the general group of knots known as turksheads. What is unusual about it is that it is actually 2 interwoven turksheads, the first one most often being a 7 part, 6 bight knot, and then the 2nd, with 5 parts, and 6 bights, being tied within the structure of the first. Unlike some other turksheads, the Pineapple Knot is well suited to being tightened down over a generally spherical object, and with care, will close down to the point where it will almost entirely cover such a shape. It is a knot much used by leather braiders, but is less widely known among ropeworkers


Pineapple Knot



Pratt knot (Or ShelbyKnot)

For tying your neck tie



Prusik Knot



Sailor’s hitch



(Gripping) Sailor’s hitch



Sheepshank

A knot tied in the bight for shortening a rope or taking up slack, without cutting it. It can also beused to protect a weak, damaged or frayed section of the rope.



Snelling a hook

Try this challengeTry this challenge


Troop 2 Knot ProgramKnot instruction/UseSnelling a hookAlternative


Troop 2 Knot ProgramKnot instruction/UseSquare Knot Sennit

Useful for making a bell-pull, etc.



Stevedore’s knot

Like the Figure 8 knot this is a stopper knot and is used to provide extra holding power to knots and hitches.


Troop 2 Knot ProgramKnot instruction/Use(Overhand)Stopper knot

This is one of the most basic knots. Even a small child can do this intuitively. The knot itself is small, and hard to untie after heavy load. The untieing is greatly simplified leaving a drawloop (right drawing). This also makes the knot slightly bulkier and perhaps a little stronger. Do notice, that an overhand knot reduces the breaking strength of a rope by as much as 50%! So do not tie an overhand knot unnecessarily in the middle of a rope.



Surgeon’s knot



Surgeon’s loop



Swiss Seat

Used as a rappelling or rescue harness.Starts with even lengths of a long rope and the first part of a surgeon’s knot (2 “half a square knot”s)Finishes on the left hip with a square knot and 2 half hitches on each side of the square knot.



Timber Hitch

The timber hitch is also used to begin and/or terminate lashings.



Trilene knot

• A strong and reliable knot to secure monofiliment to hooks, swivels & lures. • Resists slippage and failures.



Trucker’s Hitch

Used to pull and hold a rope tight to hold cargo down on a car top or trailer•Tie off one end of the rope.•Tie a slippery half-hitch in the middle of the rope to form a loop.•With the free end make a turn around a fitting and bring it the free end back to the loop.•Feed through and pull the line tight•Finish off with 2 half hitches.



Turk’s Head Knot

You may have seen this not used as a neckerchief slide!



Turle Knot

Used for Fishing



Water knot

Knot Games


Blindfolded knot identification game – ~20 minTie a number of basic knots on a cord. Scouts come blindfolded, one at a time away from the others to a private area behind a tree or bush. They are handed the cord and directed to begin. They try to identify the knots in order and quietly tell the judge. They get a point for each one identified correctly in one minute. The Judge tells them quietly how many points they earned for their team. Scores can be individual or combined team scores. Teams can alternate and a scorekeeper is with the judge –they can take turns if they wish 3 scouts at a time.Cook-up-a-knot aka Chocolate Bar Game (Use this one if other games go real fast or as an alternative)Play this game after you've taught a specific knot, for example, the sheepshank.Equipment needed: apron, placemat, knife and fork, oven mitts and wrapped (many times with newspaper over and over again) a large chocolate bar, and one dice plus a Dutch-oven to roll it in.Game: Put all the equipment in the centre of a circle. The scouts are around the equipment in a circle. The dice is passed around and everyone has a turn at throwing a 1. When you throw a 1 you get the rope and start tying the knot, meanwhile, the others are still throwing the dice. If you tie the knot successfully before someone else throws a 1 then you get to put on the oven mitts, your apron, put the chocolate bar on the placemat pick up the knife and fork and try to get into the chocolate bar. However once someone else has successfully tied the knot you have to hand over the equipment and become part of the circle again. Once the chocolate bar is opened, be sure the scouts share it!

Equipment list – be preparedSome very large chocolate bars wrapped at least 6 times tightly with newspaper.Dice (with spares)Knife and fork – both blunt, preferably plastic with sparesDutch ovenLengths of ¼ or 3/8 chord – 1 per scout and leaders too, properly seized.List of the knots to be tiedSamples of the knots for the blindfolded gameAbout 6 bandanas to make with which to make blindfolds

Games: 40 minutesKnot Relay ~20 minThe game simply involves each member of the team running across the field of say, 20 feet wide, where they are told a knot to tie, and they must tie that before returning to their team and the next person running up to do their knot. Each player will be given a knot in a predetermined sequence and the sequence will be the same for all teams. Therefore the Scouts know that if they do not pay attention during the learning phase of the evening they will let their team down during the game phase. This is often sufficient incentive for them to make every effort to learn. You will need to decide in advance how to handle a competitor who, after making several attempts, still fails to tie the required knot, one possibility is for the next person in the team to come up (after the previous has been there for a set period of time), then the next person must tie the knot that the previous person failed at and one more person must come up at the end of the race so that the required number of knots get tied. Use #s 1 through 8 in the knot list above.WDS: As suggested above - Maximum time per scout: 1 minute. Then the next in line must pick up from the untied knot. All knots must be tied by each team.Winning team is that which completes all knots properly first, then 2nd, 3rd, etc.

Notes:

1- Consider troop2 knotboard for recruiting day2- Count candidates, buy 6’ X 2 colors rope3- Knot program briefcase or duffle

Ideas for future-Build in basic knot review for rusty scouts. Hold the mastery of these to a higher standard than fancy knots. Scouts should really know these well-Add knot detective (knotcraft p148) and other games-Plan & suggest campout with knot theme-Plan for next year a troop meeting focused on knot learning and fun. Aim for Sept/Oct?
