2nd Gordon Scouts – Resources
This page provides resources developed by the 2nd Gordon Scout Group, or that we’ve found to be useful for the scouting journey.
Knots!
There are a range of knots that Scouts need to know to complete their campcraft requirements. These are commonly used for construction work and activities such as climbing and building gadgets.
There is no substitute for grabbing a piece of rope and giving it a go. Don’t worry if the knots don’t stick – keep ‘learning by doing’ more knots!
A quick poll amongst 2G Leaders showed that our preferred website is www.animatedknots.com (Knots by Grog), and the preferred app is Grog Knots. The demonstrations and narrations are clear and can be paused to check each step. The app has the advantage of being available without mobile phone coverage.
