Pioneering Scouts in Ashanti.
A bad knot, which is called a "granny," is one which slips away when a hard pull comes on it, or which gets jammed so tight that you cannot untie it.
The following are useful knots which every scout ought to know, and ought to use whenever he is tying string or rope, etc.
1.—Reef Knot, for tying ropes together.
2.—Sheet Bend, for tying two rope ends together.
3.—Clove Hitch, for fastening a rope to a pole.
