A Note from Rob
editI, the copyright holder of this work, hereby release it into the public domain. This applies worldwide. If this is not legally possible: |
As a Scouter, you may want to display your knots on your user page. These images are depictions of each knot, which I desinged. I think I've created one for every official BSA knot. If I've missed one, let me know via my talk page. However, feel free to add them to your page, and let others know where you found them. As mentioned, all are public-domain, so feel free to use them with Scouting spirit in whatever projects you need them for.
You may have seen knots that I have not listed here, it is not unheard of for councils and districts to create their own awards, and sometimes go so far as to create their own knots for them. These knots are not official even though they were designed by BSA subgroups. There are also knots that have been created for other reasons, including at least one that is intended as a protest of the BSA. As none of these are issued by the BSA, I have not replicated those for this page.
If the BSA does develop new knots, let me know. I have saved all my templates and can create new knots fairly quickly enough. I've added four new knots for 2011, feel free to use them. Thank you for your interest, and Happy Scouting!
