Knots, knots and MORE knots!


After three sessions this term on tying knots we are now becoming something of experts! Congratulations to all the girls who gained their ropes badge last night by being able to tie six different types of knots. Well done girls..... we are certainly ready for Jamboree now!


Types of knots we have learned:


  • clove hitch (granny's glasses)

  • clove hitch (over the post)

  • sheet bend

  • bowline

  • figure of eight

  • reef knot

  • sheep shank

  • round turn with two half hitches

Additional rope work:



  • snake lashing

  • square lashing

What are your favourite knots? Which one did you find the most challenging?
