I know there are several Scouters in the IGKT Forum but are there any “old” (and I used that term very loosely here as you have to be over 26 years old) Guides or Guiders here?
One of the best things when I was a Guide was working towards interest badges - including my Knotters!
Well the good news is that you can still work towards (and hopefully) attain Interest Badges - OK so they’re not “official” guiding ones but still look pretty cool on a camp blanket!
Best Of Guiding UK (BOGUK) have been running for nearly 10 years - this is the link to the full badge list - http://guidinguk.freeservers.com/Boguk-badges_index.html
As I am relatively new to knotting it’s a fantastic opportunity to increase my understanding - and get a badge as well!

This is the syllabus: -

I’m still getting my head around doing the Turks Head so I imagine it will take me a while to complete all necessary clauses - but I will enjoy the challenge!
Happy Knotting!
