Make two loops five or six inches long at one end of the rope;
Leaving a small bight at the top to go over the hook, bind the loops together by winding the standing part around them;
Hold the end fast by putting it through the remaining bight.
To serve or whip the ends of a Scout rope so they will not fray:
Take a piece of soft twine twelve or fourteen inches long;
Make a loop two inches long at one end;
Lay the loop on the rope, the end of the twine extending beyond the rope end an inch;
Bind the rope and loop together by winding the standing part tightly and closely around them;
Slip the end down through the loop, which must not be entirely covered by the binding;
Pull the other end of the twine and draw the loop under the binding.
