All tied up!
Troop 50 Scouts, at our March 4 meeting, focused on knot tying -- older Scouts concentrated on practicing lashings, while our younger Scouts worked with Scout-mentors on basic knots. Scouts were reminded that, together, basic knots and advanced lashings have a multitude of uses, from everyday remedies when gear or equipment needs to be secured, to life-saving and first-aid applications, to creating functional campsite gadgets and tools.
