Does anyone know of a good Boy Scout presentation topic?
I have to give a 10 minute presentation on something to do with Boy scout (i.e. knots, first aid, etc.) I wanna choose something specific, but with a lot to talk about. Any ideas?
I've always found that knots bug a lot of people but they want to know how to tie them. When I taught classes on knots, I found the best thing was to follow a simple program:
- Terms of the parts of the rope, with a handout. Without the terms, a piece of rope is just a chunk of spaghetti.
- The basic difference between a knot, bend, and loop
- How to use an overhand knot as a knot, a joiner (bend) and a loop. Also, how to double and slip an overhand knot.
- Replace the overhand with the superior Figure 8 and review the versions above with it.
- From there, they can follow a handout to learn good, useful knots- trucker's hitch, square knot and slipped square knot (shoe lace knot), etc.
