Requirement

3. Three camp gadgets, each naming the knots it needs

Required Often forgotten

Three builds, and each one cites the specific parts of requirement 2 it uses. With your counselor's permission a gadget of your own design may replace any of them.

Note. Any of the three named builds may be replaced by a camp gadget of your own design, with your counselor's permission. Agree it in advance: the knots and lashings the requirement names still have to be the ones you use.

What this is made of

3(b). 15-foot Scout Stave Flagpole: rolling hitches or roundturns, and round lashings
