The course is held at Camp</div><div align="center">Belzer in the Crossroads of America Council in the </div><div align="center">Indianapolis Indiana area; but is open to all registered Scouters. </div><div align="center">In 2009, we had 39 Scouters from 9 councils and 7 states.<br /><br />The Marlinspike Skills class is based on learning<br />how to tie many decorative knots along with a few<br />practical knots. You will also learn some great<br />teaching aids to use with your Scouts.<br /><br />This course starts on Friday evening and is completed on Sunday </div><div align="center">afternoon. The course is usually held the first weekend in March.<br /><br />The cost of the course covers all the material that you<br />use and take home with you, cracker-barrel on Friday<br />and Saturday nights, three meals on Saturday and two<br />meals on Sunday. Snacks and the usual Scout drinks are<br />available at all times. You also receive a handout with<br />detailed instructions for all the knots. Staff and learners</div><div align="center">stay in heated cabins in the camp.<br /><br />The class is taught by Scouters who are experienced<br />instructors and seasoned knot tyers. Learners benefit<br />from the one to three teacher to student ratio and<br />hands on instruction.<br /><br />The classes are small, 15 learners.<br />This is an unusual course in that class A uniforms<br />are not allowed, the dress is class B or C. There are<br />no ceremonies except the graduation. Music is<br />always on and we have real spare time at which you<br />are welcome to enjoy the staff displays and library,<br />practice what you have learned, take a hike or<br />whatever you wish. </div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890380-109192384599102702?l=marlinspikeskills.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marlinspike Skillsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890380.post-1095215133454322752012-02-17T17:50:00.000-05:002012-02-17T17:59:02.340-05:00The following is a list of the knots taught in in the course.<br /><br />Constrictor Knot<br />Lanyard/Diamond Knot<br />West Country Whipping<br />Sailmakers Whipping<br />Needle and Palm Whipping<br />Seizing<br />3x4 Turks Head<br />4x3 Turks Head<br />Eye Splice<br />Eye Spice In The Middle<br />Flemish Eye<br />Wall Knot<br />Crown Knot<br />Manrope Knot<br />Matthew Walker<br />Double Matthew Walker<br />Ocean Plait<br />Monkey's Fist<br />Star Knot<br />Grommet<br />Tangle Knot<br />Square Knot<br />Crown Sennits<br />French Hitching<br />Moku Hitching<br />St. Mary's Hitching<br />Ringbolt Hitching<br />Running Ringbolt Hitching<br />Double Hitchings<div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7890380-109521513345432275?l=marlinspikeskills.blogspot.com' alt='' /></div>Marlinspike Skillsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7890380.post-1097016824317314392012-02-17T17:45:00.000-05:002012-02-17T18:00:28.458-05:00<a href="http://bp0.blogger.com/_kKSobXVbOpg/SHkm0sYXuRI/AAAAAAAAAGM/FZ67uj_8ER0/s1600-h/116-1683_IMG.jpg0.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px 10px 10px 0px;
