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.
