Knotical Knots!

Tiger Scouts assemble in a circle for the flag ceremony.

 Today at Tiger we were practicing tying knots! The Tiger Scouts were learning the reef knot, which I was able to help with. Luckily, my students are currently learning about positions of objects in Science so they recognized the words over and under. I had to demonstrate left and right, but they caught on quickly. Kru T also taught me a new way to tie the bowline! And she taught me a cool way to attach a rope to your belt so it doesn't get tangled. She told me my first one was too messy and laughed at me but since the Tiger scouts still haven't figured it out either I got at least 6 of theirs landed in my lap for extra practice!!!



One of the Scouters demonstrates the reef knot.

Demonstration continued as Tiger Scouts give it a try.

Kru T jumps in to explain even though she is losing her voice!

Tiger Scouts proudly display their knots to each other!

Tiger Scouts start ravelling up their ropes at the end of the meeting.
