Organisation of event 1.1 Introduction The 100 Downunder Day is a hands on activity day for Guide members to celebrate 100 years of Guiding. It is broken into three parts—past, present and future—and links skills through the different eras in a fun way. 1.2 Delivery This event has been designed to be delivered at a State or Region level. Where this is not possible, it can be run at a District level. However interaction with a wider Guiding family will add to the atmosphere of the day and contribute to a memorable experience. Depending on the number of participants, organisers may need to run multiple bases of the activities provided. Alternatively, they may add activities of their own, provided they fit the theme and philosophy of the event. 1.3 Date Saturday 22 May 2010 1.4 Venue The 100 Downunder Day should be held in a prominent place close to public transport. Check the Centenary and State websites for details closer to the date. 1.5 Time 9.30 am to 4.00 pm 1.6 Program The program is divided into three zones: • Zone 1 Heritage Zone (past) • Zone 2 Party Zone (present) • Zone 3 Outer Zone (future)1 9.30 am Registration/arrival 9.45 am Opening 10.00 am – 11.15 am Zone activities Participate in three activities for twenty minutes each 11.15 am – 11.30 am Snack/drink 11.30 am – 12.45 am Zone activities Participate in three activities for twenty minutes each 12.45 am – 1.30 pm Lunch 1.30 pm – 2.45 pm Zone activities Participate in three activities for twenty minutes each 3.00 pm – 4.00 pm Closing 1.7 Registration A registration fee will apply to cover the cost of the badge, show bag and activities. Check the Centenary and State websites for cost and how to apply closer to the date. page 2 1.8 What to bring Each participant should bring lunch, snacks and drink. Each group will also need a piñata. The piñata should be made by the group beforehand (see item 5.2.1) and reflect the theme of the Guiding celebration, for example it could be in the Guiding colours of blue and gold; incorporate 100 on it or anything else the group can dream up. 2. Registration Procedure 2.1 Pinata On arrival the piñatas should be hung up in the central area for everyone to admire. The group can then collect their piñata for the breaking the piñata activity in Zone 2. 2.2 Bags As each group arrives each person receives a ‘show bag’ containing a program stating the order of their zones for the day and an explanation sheet for The 100 Challenge. The bag may also contain other fun/donated items. Units will remain together during the day with their Leader in charge of their own girls. Each participant also receives a coloured tag/band for identification purposes, indicating which zone to go to first. 3. Activities 3.1 Zone activities There will be three large groups made up of smaller groups and each zone will be a different colour. Groups will begin in their zone (indicated by their colour) and move accordingly: • start at Zone 1 move to Zone 2 and then to Zone 3 • start at Zone 2 move to Zone 3 and then to Zone 1 • start at Zone 3 move to Zone 1 and then to Zone 2. The Zone organisers know which colour group should be with them at what time. Each Zone will incorporate a number of activities. The number will depend on the number attending the day. Each participant will be able to do three activities in each Zone. 3.2 The 100 Challenge Throughout the day the participants will be challenged to look for items which contain 100, for example a dollar which contains 100 cents. An explanation sheet will be in the show bag giving some initial examples as well as instructions about the judging. At the end of the day there will be ten prizes awarded for those with the most items. These could include discount vouchers from the Guide Shop. 3.3 Opening All participants will come together in a central location for the opening which will take 15 min. The opening will include: • singing the Centenary Song • singing Happy Birthday • welcome by a prominent Guide • explanation of how the day will run and what it is about • visit by a historic figure to give some history of Guiding. page 3 3.4 Closing All participants will come back to the central location for the closing ceremony which will take 15 min. The closing will include: • vote of thanks from prominent Guide • presentation of the prizes for the 100 Challenge • singing Celebration by Kylie Minogue followed by a 45 min dance party, using live (such as a band) or recorded music. Participants can perform the dances, songs, poems or raps they have learned or created during the day. 3.5 Badge Each person who attends the day receives the 100 Downunder Badge. 4. Zone 1 activities–Heritage Zone 4.1 Outdoor skills 4.1.1 Mini flagpole Materials needed: One skewer One piece of polystyrene Four nails/tacks Thin string One small stick for the cleat One small ring for the grommet Small piece of fabric for the flag Instructions for lashings and knots Directions: 1. Square lash the cleat onto the skewer, one third of the way up, using some of the string. 2. Using West Country lashing, lash the ring to the top of the skewer to become the grommet. 3. Place the skewer in the middle of the polystyrene. 4. Attach two pieces of string, using clove hitches, to the skewer below the cleat for the guy ropes. 5. Tie the ’guy ropes’ to the nails/tacks using round turn and two half hitches. 6. Thread the string through the grommet to form the halyard. 7. Tie the string to the flag and pull to raise the flag. For an extra challenge, try putting up the flagpole without using the polystyrene and roll and ‘break’ the flag. 4.1.2 Boil the billy Materials needed: Candle Matches Piece of thin wire Aluminium screw top lid from a bottle Small amount of water page 4 Directions: Give the materials to the group and ask them to work out how to boil water in the ‘billy’. 4.1.3 Lifeline throwing Materials needed: One length of rope Directions: 1. Coil the rope neatly so that it will not tangle as you throw it. 2. Take at least two thirds of the coils in your throwing hand and stand side on to your target. Keep the remaining coils in your holding hand with the end attached to your wrist with a loop. 3. Throw, letting the rope go when it is shoulder high. Keep your eye on the target. Practise!! 4.2 Crafts 4.2.1 Woggle making Materials needed: 2 metres of cord Directions: 1. Fold the cord in half, loop the middle of it over your fingers, and let the end not in use hang down. In the drawings, the working end is always marked W and the end not in use is shown with a knot. 2 Take the working end up over the non-working end. 3. Carry the working end round the fingers and up again. 4. Take it over loop B and under loop A. 5. Pull loop B over loop A and bring the third finger up to hold it in place.

  • Knotmaster Program
    Troop 1776 Knotmaster Program Congratulations on embarking on the Troop 1776 Knotmaster Program! The purpose of the Knotmaster Program is to encourage participants to learn to tie a full range of useful and practical knots. By the time you complete the Black level you will have mastered and have at your disposal at least 37 new knots! Goals Of The Knotmaster Program Provide a process and environment to learn knot skills for rank advancement, merit badges and everyday practical situations. Provide opportunities for one-on-one teaching using the E.D.G.E. method. Continually test knotting skills so they are reinforced and improved. Provide opportunities for mastery and advancement with increasingly challenging knot levels. Recognize self-directed effort and achievement and encourage participation. Program Overview Knots are grouped into increasingly challenging levels comprised of 9 knots each. Once a level is completed the participant receives a colored cord to wear on his Knotmaster Carabiner. These colored cords serve to recognize the participant’s achievement, and to identify him as a learning resource for other participants. Upon starting the program the participant receives a basic introduction, along with a practice rope, progress card and knot sheet. The participant may learn knots in any order, and may learn knots from any level at any time. However, he must advance through the levels sequentially. Progress will be tracked on the Knotmaster Progress Card. Participants in the program are known as Knotters. Those who advance to the Black Level are Knotmasters. Troop 1776 - Knotmaster Knot Signoff When a Knotter feels he has mastered a knot sufficiently to be signed off, he can approach any Knotter or Knotmaster who is at least one level higher and ask to be signed off.

Previous publications have concentrated on security of different knot types, but could individual technique be important? Determine whether the technique of formation of each layer of a surgical knot is important to the security of the knot formed. Design study: Prospective analysis of technique on knot security Materials and methods: Senior and resident surgeons, and medical students, tied knots with three techniques, using four study materials, 2/0 polyglactin 910 (vicryl), 3/0 polydioxanone (PDS), 4/0 poliglecaprone 25 (monocryl) and 1 nylon (Ethilon); a standard flat reef knot (FRK), knots tied under tension (TK), and knots laid without appropriate hand crossing (NHCK). Each knot technique was performed reproducibly, and security determined by distraction with increasing force, till each material broke, or the knot separated completely.

    Knot Knowledge KNOT KNOWLEDGE PHOTO-ILLUSTRATIONS Twenty-three practical knots are presented with photographs of the steps involved in tying each knot. Every step is also described in text. It is not the function (yet) of Knot Knowledge to teach how to use these knots, so please do not use friction hitches for dangerous activities like climbing rope unless you have been properly trained. Knot Knowledge provides in its lexicon definitions of the few knot tying terms used in the text descriptions. Clicking on a category shows all the knots within that category on one page.
