This page is dedicated to the identification and explaination of the different types of Scout Leadership Knots. Whenever possible, this site also gives you a link to the actual application or nomination form for that particular knot, the home website for that award, and/or the agency responsible for bestowing that award.
For some knots, you get the form, complete the requirements, collect the signatures, and turn in the card. For other knots, trying to nominate yourself will automatically disqualify you from consideration for that award. Still other knots represent accomplishments granted from outside organizations that BSA deems worthy, and thus allows you to sew a knot on your uniform, signifying that you are a recipient of that award.
