The night of the Knots

Tonight during our Royal Rangers meeting we went over our bible study & devotion, but we also discussed a couple different types of knots.  In the Royal Rangers ministry we try to take the boys camping at least once a year.  When the groups go on this camp out it's nice if the boys are able to perform certain tasks for the camp out.  As many of us know...usually a "true" camping trip will require the use of rope.  The ropes may be used for multiple things: to setup the tent, hang up clothes, tie up something, etc.  When using the ropes there are many different knots that can be used, depending on what you are wanting to do.  So tonight we discussed the Figure 8 Knot and the Square Knot.  Both of the knots are pretty easy to tie, but can be very effective when needing to tie something.  Each of the 10 boys we had in class tonight were able to tie both knots.  The evening with the boys went very well, and I really believe that God is going to wonderful things with this group of boys.
