Scout Quiz - Test Your Knowledge of 10 Different Knots

Knots are constantly used for outdoor activities and are also important for five different Scout Badges: the Adventure Challenge Award, the Pioneering Activity Badge, and the Climbing Activity Badge, to name just a few. Knots are extensively used when camping for building shelters, securing guy lines, and first aid, but they are also useful for many other activities.

For instance, when sailing, the Bowline knot is essential for securing boats to docks and is designed to hold under tension while remaining easy to untie when needed.
