Licorice Knots Activity

long shoestring licorice

Use licorice for practicing knot tying in a fun way.

Make a contest between patrols - first scout pulls the name of a knot out of a bag and has to tie it, tell judge what it is used for, and get acceptance. Then, next scout repeats. Allow scouts within a patrol to advise and demonstrate to each other to build teamwork, but the scout has to actually tie the knot picked out.
