When I was in fourth, fifth, and sixth grade, I was a Junior Girl Scout in a new troop in the next town over. Troop 356. Hard to believe I actually remember that…
It was still a thing in those days to learn to tie knots. Lots of kinds of knots, so that we could lash together branches and such.
I don’t remember how to tie most of them, but I do remember slip knots. And square knots. “Right over left and left over right makes a knot neat and tidy and tight.” I do make square knots sometimes. I’m not sure if that is why I still remember them or because there was a rhyme that taught us how to tie it properly.
Do Girl Scouts today still learn to tie knots?
