Get ready to twist, loop, and pull your way into outdoor know-how! In this interactive outdoor skills session, Girl Scout Daisies, Brownies, and Juniors will practice hands-on ropework, teamwork, and problem-solving while learning how knots can be useful at camp. Girls will explore where each knot is used in real life-from tents to tarps-and race to tie them faster in a fun, friendly relay.

Program Highlights:
- Learn & Practice 3 Useful Knots: Overhand, square knot, and clove hitch
- See Knots in Action: Try them out in real campsite scenarios like securing a gear line or "setting up" a tent
- Knot Relay Race: Race the clock in a high-energy challenge to show off your skills
- Camp Skill Talk: How knots help with drip lines, bear bags, bedrolls, and more

Badge Alignment: Meets steps for Brownie Cabin Camper or Outdoor Adventurer; Junior Camper steps
