Knot Master Program

Knots are a skill taught at every level of scouting. The “Knot Master” program is designed to provide each scout an opportunity to learn essential knots, as well as the fun knots that you can use to amaze your friends. In addition to learning the knots, each scout is awarded with a five foot piece of white rope. This is just the start of the adventure.

After completing Level One, the scout is awarded with a “D-Ring” and taught the special method for tying the five-foot piece of rope to the D-Ring (the ‘carry’ knot). This now allows the scout to carry the rope at all scout functions, and displays his success in completing Level One. In addition, it provides one more element of “Be Prepared”, for there are countless uses for a five-foot piece of rope.

From here the scout can continue to progress through the remaining four levels of the program. Upon completion of each level the scout is awarded with a different color of rope, Green, Blue, Red, and finally Black. Upon obtaining the coveted Black rope, the scout is declared a “Knot Master”.

The highest level of Knot Master can only be earned upon reaching the rank of Eagle Scout. At that point the scout can wear the Red, White, and Blue rope.
