Rope Works and Boy Scouts - Part II
Ok, I promised to post more information regarding the Knot Program at Troop 352. Well here is the link to the actual program. I introduced the program to the boys a couple of meetings ago. Most seemed excited and there seems to be some competition building as to who will be first to earn the Black Rope.
We have a lot of new Scouts, just crossing over from Webelos. Several have already asked to test for the Yellow level. Overall, I think the program will be a success. We still have to get and provide the White ropes for practice. And we are going to have an initial test that will allow each Scout to find his current level before the 1 month waiting period requirement goes into effect.
I guess I need to review my knots. One other Assistant Scout Master and myself have taken on the task of becoming the first Black Ropes for the Leaders. We need to have the Black Rope level in order to test the boys who want to acheive that level.
Life is good!!
