Answer: Square Knot

The Square Knot is a simple but strong knot that is easily tied and untied. Square Knots appear in many Scouting symbols and signs. The easiest way to remember how to tie a Square Knot is "Right over left, left over right".

9. How can you tell the rank of a Cub Scout wearing his full uniform?

Cub Scouts wear neckerchiefs of different colors depending on their rank: Tigers wear orange, Wolves are yellow, Bears are light blue and WEBELOS are a plaid of red, blue, green and gold.

10. What are the colors of Cub Scouting, also the name of a big event held every Spring where Cubs usually receive their rank badges and other awards?
