Every week at our Scout meetings we offer a challenge to every scout to tie a knot or two. For every five knots you can tie correctly with no prompting you'll be awarded a new colored rope to show everyone else that you're a knothead.

Here's what you need to know:

PINK ROPE CLUB
SQUARE KNOT
TWO HALF HITCHES
TAUT LINE HITCH
OVERHAND KNOT
FIGURE EIGHT

YELLOW ROPE CLUB
TIE A CLOVE HITCH
SHEETBEND
BOWLINE
WHIP THE END OF A ROPE
TIMBER HITCH

BLUE ROPE CLUB
SHEEP SHANK
ONE HANDED BOWLINE
THROW A CLOVE HITCH
SQUARE LASHING
DIAGONAL LASHING
SHEAR LASHING

BROWN ROPE CLUB
BOWLINE ON A BIGHT
CROWN KNOT
BACK SPLICE
EYE SPLICE

Here's the catch....Once you've earned your knot, you need to keep practicing because any member of the Knothead Club can challenge you at any time to demonstrate your skills. If you fail you turn in your knot for a week and start all over again earning your way up the knot ladder. So what are you waiting for? Start tying and soon you'll earn the right to be called a Knothead too!
