Each Journey’s end is but the start of the next one. We learn from our past experiences so that future journeys will be even better! The Explorer This level is the next step up in your Journey in the Troop. The information that you will find here is structured around what you have learnt at the Pathfinder level. However, here you will now be increasing your knowledge to a higher level. Seeing that you have understood the basics, you will use them to reach out to more advanced themes. How do I achieve this level? The topics at this level require that you have a sound understanding of similar topics in the previous levels. Therefore it is important that before you attempt to start anything at this level you are confident that you have mastered the previous topics well. Look at the sheet on the next page so that you are able to keep track of your progress. 2 Progress Sheet When did I When did I Leader for Topic learn about it? complete it? assessment Artistic Expression: Drama Technology: Energy Spirituality: One with others & Morality Rope work Rescue knots Cooking for the Patrol Train Scouts Organize Troop Meeting Risk Assessment Time Management Adventurous Activity Journey 3 Artistic Expression – Drama Requirements Choose an activity which satisfies the aim of Drama and Entertainment.

Aim The topic of Energy is a very vast and varied one. Amongst others one can look at the historical, futuristic or technological aspect of Energy. A scout should be aware of the world around him and technology is an integral part of today’s modern life. Young people should research and learn more about new technological innovations so that they can be protectors, creators and developers, able to criticize constructively and make a difference, instead of simply being users. Can you do it? Here are some examples below: a) Produce a simple model that makes use of alternative (to fossil fuels) energy. Show how its principle can be adapted for use in today’s world. b) Make a moving model that uses any kind of energy. Give an explanation of the type of energy being used and how this supports the statement: ‘Energy cannot be created or destroyed’. c) Prepare a presentation on how the use of energy sources has changed through history. d) Show how the use of some energy sources causes pollution and how this pollution adversely affects your town or city. e) Compare and contrast 2 typical towns, one in the 1500s and the other in the 2000s.

These can be sourced from both religious and non-religious material. f) Any other activity which you deem expresses your views regarding Faiths. Talk to your leader for approval of the activity. 6 Rope Work Pre-requisite: Pioneering (at Pioneer Level) Requirements • Whipping and splicing of a rope, and Constrictor Knot • Care of a rope. Aim As with most possessions, it is not only important to know how to use something but it is equally important to know how to take care of it. This holds true also for ropes. If you know how to tie all the knots and lashings but do not know how to care for the rope you use your projects will become weaker and weaker over time. Good knowledge about how to care for ropes will complement the knowledge you have gathered so far about how to use them. Can you do it? a) Know and show how to whip to a rope end. b) Know and show how to splice a rope end. c) Show knowledge of different rope types. d) Show how to care for any kind of rope. 7 Whipping a Rope End Rope Whipping is a binding of twine around the end of a rope Work to prevent the fibres of the rope from unravelling. Whipping Knot Form a bight with the twine (a strong thread or string) you are using for the whipping. Place it parallel to the rope you are going to whip. Hold the bight with your thumb and turn the twine round the round the rope. Always remember to pull tight. Keep on turning the twine round the rope until the whipping length is approximately equal to the diameter of the rope and pass the working end through the bight. Pull the standing part of the rope until the bight is in the centre of the whipping. Cut off both of the remaining ends of the twine. 8 Rope Work Splicing a Rope End Rope splicing is the forming of a semi-permanent join between two ropes or two parts of the same rope by partly untwisting and then interweaving their strands. Splices can be used to form a stopper at the end of a line, to form a loop or an eye in a rope, or for joining two ropes together. There are different ways to splice a rope: 1 Back Splice Form a Crown Knot by tucking each strand over its neighbour and back down beside the standing end. Splice each strand into the rope by passing it over and under alternate strands in the standing end. Repeat step 2 twice and the back splice will be complete. 9 2 Eye Splice Rope Work Undo around 13 cm of the rope starting from the working end. Tape the rope to prevent further strands from being undone. Make a loop with the rope. Starting from the middle strand, pass the strand under a strand on the standing end of the rope. Pass the lower strand under the lower adjacent strand on the rope. Pass the upper strand under the upper adjacent strand on the standing end of the loop. Repeat steps 4, 5 and 6 five times over. 3 Cut Splice To make a cut splice the exact same splicing technique as in the back splice and eye splice is used.

  • Knot Symbolism
    Witch's Knot Posted by Silver Sunday, January 5, 2014 at 5:28 PM http://nordicwiccan.blogspot.nl/2014/01/witchs-knot.html There are many different types of magic knots, all of which have their own uses and their own history. In Pagan Roman times, couples would tie a knot while make solemn vows to each other and their gods during their wedding ceremony, which is where we get the phrase 'tying the knot'. The Witch's Knot, also known as the Witch's Charm or Magic Knot, is comprised of four interlocking vesica piscis-shapes. The knot can also be found with a central circle. The vesica piscis is a shape that is the intersection of two circles with the same radius, intersecting in such a way that the center of each circle lies on the perimeter of the other. The name literally means the "bladder of a fish" in Latin. The shape is also called mandorla (almond in Italian). The pointed oval sign, the vesica piscis, has also been called the Vessel of the Fish. "Fish" and "womb" were synonymous terms in ancient Greek delphos. Its link to fertility, birth, feminine sexuality and the natural force of women was acknowledged also by the Celts, as well as pagan cultures throughout northern Europe. The Great Goddess was portrayed elsewhere with pendulous breasts, accentuated buttocks and a conspicuous vaginal orifice, the upright vesica piscis. Christians later adapted the symbol as their own for Ichthys, fish. A circle is a simple shape of geometry that is the set of all points in a plane that are at a given distance from a given point, the centre.

  • Rope Splicing in Ropework Is the Forming of a Semi-Permanent Joint
    Rope splicing - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rope_splicing From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Rope splicing in ropework is the forming of a semi-permanent joint between two ropes or two parts of the same rope by partly untwisting and then interweaving their strands. Splices can be used to form a stopper at the end of a line, to form a loop or an eye in a rope, or for joining two ropes together.[1] Splices are preferred to knotted rope, since while a knot typically reduces the strength by 20–40%,[2] a splice is capable of attaining a rope's full strength.[3] However, splicing usually results in a thickening of the line and, if subsequently removed, leaves a distortion of the rope. Most types of splices are used on 3-strand rope, but some can be done on 12-strand or greater single- braided rope, as well as most double braids. 1 Types of splices Stages in splicing the end of a rope, 2 Splicing tools from Scientific American, 1871 3 See also 4 References 5 External links back splice (also called an end splice) – A splice where the strands of the end of the rope are spliced directly back into the end without forming a loop. It is used to finish off the end of the rope to keep it from fraying. The end of the rope with the splice is about twice the thickness of the rest of the rope. With nylon and other plastic materials, the back splice is often no longer used; the rope strands are simply fused together with heat to prevent fraying.[4] cut splice (originally called cunt splice) – A splice similar to the Examples of splices in different eye splice.

One common technique shows the gloved hand rising as though in salute. Todd Beal shows it clearly in one of the shorter videos. The method shown in our animation can also be used with gloves on. Moreover, it reveals the underlying Figure 8 structure and does not twist the line. The Figure 8 component can be tightened before sliding Knots Step by Step knot against the tree. However, it is more common to tension the knot pulling on the standing end with one hand and the bight with the other. Security: The Siberian Hitch Knot is only moderately secure. While excellent for creating a ridge line to support a tent, it should never be trusted for more critical loads. Like the Siberian Hitch Knot it too should not be trusted for critical loads. Advantages: It is convenient to tie it and release it with gloves on. It can also be tied at some distance from an object and then tightened until it rests against it. Alternative: Some writers recommend the slipped Buntline Hitch as a Knots Step by Step secure alternative.
