Girl Scouts will use several different knots while camping and adventuring in the outdoors. Get started by learning these basic and advanced knots.

• The Overhand Knot. It's the most simple knot, but also the most essential to understanding the rest of the upcoming series.
• Round Turn & Two Half Hitches Knot. It's a knot with multiple components, but the components are simple and easy to remember.
• Clove Hitch. It's a hitch with structure that requires memorization, but the motions are uni-directional and easy to remember.
• Square or Reef Knot. It's easy enough - two half hitches stacked on top of each other. However, their relationship to each other is tricky and it's easy to accidentally tie a variation of the square/reef knot rather than the knot itself.
• Sheet Bend. This knot requires more specific memorization than the last.
• Bowline Knot (pronounced "bowl - in," not "bow-line.") It's essentially the sheet bend, but with a very different application.
• Bowline On a Bight (Pronounced "Bowl - in," not "Bow - line"). It has the same structure as the Bowline, but with a much more complicated procedure.
• Taut Line Hitch. It's more difficult due to it's many turns and direction changes.
• Cleat Hitch. It's easy once you've memorized all the different turns and nit-picky particulars of the knot.
• Double Figure Eight knot is complicated. It has many turns, direction changes, and requires a lot of memorization. Once mastered, it is a very useful heavy duty knot.
