Greetings IGKT UK Members!
I will be visiting the UK shortly to attend the MSF 3rd International Jamboree at Gilwell Park from July 23rd to 26th. Since I will be in the area, I would love to propose a casual morning meet-up for any knot-tying enthusiasts who might be free and interested in getting together.
The Proposed Plan:
Date: July 27th, 2026
Time: 9:00 AM – 11:00 AM
Location: Epping Forest Cafe, London (Google Maps Pin)
Agenda: Breakfast, tea, sharing knot knowledge, and fellowship!
A quick bit about me: I am originally from Minnesota, USA, but I currently live in Dubai, UAE. I am the Co-Group Lead Volunteer for the 6th Dubai Ihsan Scouts under British Scouting Overseas (which, I must admit, is way better organized than American Scouting Overseas!). I also support a global scouting project based out of the UK called Futuwwah Scouts.
I officially caught the knot-tying bug about a year ago when I came across The Ultimate Book of Everyday Knots as well as the Bear Essentials app, Knot IQ. It completely changed my world! I am still relatively new to the craft, so it would be wonderful to meet other enthusiasts, share some fellowship, and learn from your experience.
