SCOUT KNOTTING 

童軍繩結

 

在遠古時代，當人類還沒有發明文字之前，他們多以繩結記事，運用各種繩結記錄多樣化的事情。在用途上，可以將繩結分為三個主要功用─「作業」、「裝飾」及「傳遞知識」。在人類生活不斷進步的過程中，繩結的使用佔了一個重要位置。

 


根據記載，繩結在各個民族均有出現，方式層出不窮，達到幾千種，大概與其地域、氣候、傳統文化而有所分別。在幾千種的方式裡，人類按其用途，使用不同編結手法和組合。

 


在日常生活中，我們都會運用到一些基本的繩結技巧，為生活帶來便利。在童軍活動中，尤其是野外露營、先鋒工程及行山遠足等，繩結更是不可或缺的一環。安全地運用繩結，可以使我們的童軍生活添上色彩，所以童軍運動鼓勵成員循序漸進，由「基本六結」為最初學習基礎；從而培養興趣，發掘箇中趣味，繼而自發學習更多繩結種類。成員不但可以將繩結技巧在戶外活動中充份發揮，還可以學以致用。

Scout Knotting

 

In ancient times, when writing system had yet been invented, humans often used knotting as the device for recording events, with different types of knots used for various occasions. Knotting can be classified into three main functions: “for working”, “for decoration” and “for transferring knowledge”. It has played a very important role throughout the history of human life.

 


Knotting had appeared in the history of different races in historical records and they appear in thousands of variations, which are probably the result of differences in region, climate and traditional culture. And among these forms, its methods and combinations are decided by different usage of human beings.

 


Sometimes, we make use of the basic knotting skills to bring convenience to our everyday life. Knotting is an indispensable aspect for Scout activities like camping, pioneering and hiking. The safe use of knotting can embellish our Scouting life, so we encourage Scouts to firstly focus on the six basic knotting skills as the learning basis and learn knotting step by step. Soon you will develop your interest and discover the pleasures, and you may learn other different knotting skills on your own. Scouts can make use of these skills in outdoor activities and apply what they have learnt in real-life situation.
